Any non-sewing items that you use for quilting?

I don't know what it's called, but my daughter who took Japanese and Chinese, used this very thin paper with small grid lines inside of large grid lines, and the sheets are about 12x18, she used them to practice her writing, but now i use them to graph my quilts and copy patterns, they are like onion skin.
Use round needle nose pliers for grabbing a needle I can't pull out.
use a table cloth with felt backing for my design board.
Use a headlight that workers use around their heads to HQ ( always have the light in right spot).

I use a painted wooden flatware/napkin holder (for picinics) for keeping up with my rotary cutters and scissor. I also use a wooden block with slits cut into it, to hold my rulers. It was origanially made to hold playing cards, but it works great for my rulers. I also have a bigger one that was the base for a recipe book holder. I just took off the piece of plexiglass that was attached that covered the book.

Great thread...........reminded me of some things, as the pool noodles. I too incorporate many of the mentioned items. However, I wish there was a picture of the Orvis fishing thing mentioned by Vernal??? One additional thing I use is, fish tank filter tubing cut in short lengths to put on the tips of my small scissors ........calla
