same with me! loll

Gee I had never heard of them. Thanks for letting us know about them.

What a great use for peels...I have a few loose ones hanging around in my thread drawer.

I love my peels! But so far I have only used them for the intended use. Need to open my mind for re-purposing! :)

Wow, aren't you clever!!!!!!!! Much nicer than just clothespins.

I'm making a log cabin quilt, and of course that require a lot of variety of colors and lengths of fabric.
My other methods of trying to keep track of 6 neutrals and 12 or so colors were getting on my nerves.

A huge lid for a storage tin makes a great temporary holder for my long strips.

But for the shorter ones?
Peels to the rescue!

I, too, had not heard of the Peels, so appreciate the update. For keeping my strips & squares arranged while piecing, I use an old potato chip rack. Works wonders and pieces aren't getting lost!!!
