How do you store your block patterns and templates?

2 Gallon ziplocks hold a LOT of fabric, the pattern, any special templates, etc. Then, I store the ziplock in a plastic storage container labeled with "WIP", "Ready to Start", TBD, whatever (I have different categories and some with deadline dates on the outside). I find the ziplock helps keep the whole project together and then keeping things sorted by other categories allows me to grab something ready to go. I hate picking up a project with anticipation only to find I'm missing a key component and can't work on it right away.

My neighbor lady bought a bunch of sheets, curtains, and blankets so she gave the plastic envelopes that they came in and they zip. I keep alot of my projects in those. Also plastic totes. :thumbup:

At our local Crafts 2000 store, there are very inexpensive clear boxes designed for scrapbookers. They come in 12x12; 8x12; and 5x7. I've picked up several of them to keep each project in. The largest costs around $3.50, and the smallest is around $1.60.
