Hello & welcome from south Louisiana.
When reading one of the tips gave me an idea. I made handles for my mom's crochet needles with polymer clay, you could do the same with the small seam ripper. That way u can make it any size that is comfortable for you. The clay is not expensive, you can get a variety of colors at Hobby Lobby or Michaels.

swatches of all the fabric used and finally a picture of the
recipient with their quilt. It is fun to look back and see
those "smiles".

This tip is so basic to me, but not everybody does it, and it can save you a lot of time and energy...label, label, label!
Many have seen my cave pics, (sewing/quilting room)...and I label every itty bitty thing! If I have fabrics in a container that you can't see into...I make a list and tape to the outside. Saves, moving it, opening, digging and sometimes re-folding and putting back. You know how much time that saves, with just one container? add it all up = quilty time!
How many of us are getting younger?
LABEL IT, PPL, LABEL IT!!!! :mrgreen:
