How do I organize my 2 1/2" squares
#21
My cereal boxes laid on their backs (front cut out) is working well for me at the moment. but ....
I cant' decide if I am going to store the squares on their backs or on their edges like 'love to sew'. On their backs, separated into different colour stacks, keeps them flat. I can hold the stack to fan through them to choose what I want. On their edges makes it easier perhaps to see individual colours, but do they get creased and fray as they are pulled out and put back?
Should we have a referendum on this? The Brits on here will get the humour in that I guess!

here is how I store them. Free by reusing, one container is from costco (from cookies I think) the other from a sandwich take away box. [ATTACH=CONFIG]608158[/ATTACH]I do add a piece of card board in between hope you can see that. (card board from something like a cereal box)
I love that they are free, do not wind up in the landfill, and they are see-through. I organize mine by color as well as by value, trying to range from light to dark as it looks like love to sew may have done as well. I love the idea of the cardboard strip to make the squares behave themselves!

I like this one best as it has two snaps to shut and they hold a boatload of 2.5" squares. I have one for 2.5 x 5" bricks, one bin holds 2" strips, another HST etc. I have more than one of these rolly carts and keep each quilt project in a bin so all things are right at my finger tips. I can roll them from machine to machine and everything is right at my fingertip.
