That's much better than the old paper ream box I use now to store finished quilt blocks.

Dawn Marie that is a great idea, thanks for sharing - I am definitely going to borrow it!

They put these containers on sale 50% off all the time at JoAnns. I haven't bought any as they are advertised for scrapbooking, now I'm going to pick up a few for my projects. I love the colored ones they have available at my local store. Recently they have even had holiday colors with glitter in them, so pretty!

Pizza boxes work real well too. I will admit these look prettier, but the price is right on the pizza boxes.
I've heard about the pizza boxes, but haven't used them yet. Do you just go into the pizza shop and ask for them? How much do they charge? Thanks!

Some are very nice and will give them to you. I have been to several that charge .25 each. Pretty cheap storage huh??

What do they charge you for them? you can make them look pretty with a strip of fabric across the front!

i use the ones pictured in the first post..and i used a label maker to mark them, they are stacked nice and neat on the floor. i love them. i have a few with handles that i take with me to class.
