If I am storing projects in ziplock bags will it hurt anything to put a dryer sheet in?

Agree - don't store in zip lock bags. A lot of people use pizza boxes (not used!) or other boxes. Cotton needs to breathe.

Second the chemicals that are on dryer sheets can leave behind things you will never see.
The military has not banned the use of them on uniforms, the chemicals left behind can be picked up on heat sensors!

I use plastic bags for delivering FQs and scraps to my sister. She doesnt keep them in the bags as she uses up what she gets. I also keep leftover fabric/patterns/templates from each project filed in photo boxes. I stock up on new pillowcases (used pillow cases also have a good or bad smell to them)on clearance when I can get them-then store quilts, etc. in them. When I deliver a project, I take the item out of the pillow cases, and wrap it in tissue paper, then place it in large gift bags from the dollar store. The item doesnt stay in the gift bag for long once it gets to its destination. Many times I get the bags returned for the next item they order-only if it comes from a smoke-free home.(allergies here)
