I did not know the name of these, but I took have used them for gift "bag" box.

For project storage I use the Iris containers from Joann's they are all labeled with fabric, notes, pattern and special ruler etc...and I also date them. I have the largest one with all my Dear Jane blocks, triangles and corners. Opps -- date on that one is 2008.

I have tried the pizza boxes but they didn't work for me. The size makes it awkward.

I tend to keep small projects in clear plastic shoe boxes. For larger projects I'll use a large clear tote, adding a shoe box if there are pieces that should be portable (like a few blocks that will be hand pieced).

Pizza boxes and ziplocs. They are both reusable and work just fine.

Same here.....this works best for me and everything stays clean and safe from any wandering crickets/moths who might be in the area. I also use 16x16 pizza boxes for projects I'm currently working on to keep the blocks all together and neaten up my work area when I'm done each day.

I use the Ziploc Big Bags. Our Walmart has the XL size, which is about the maximum size I'd be able to handle. They are found near the food storage bags Ziploc and other brands. There are 4 bags in the box.

I use the 2 gallon Zip Loc bags to keep my projects in. Everything goes into the bag along with the pattern and start date of project and who its for. My larger quilts queen and king take more than one bag so they are marked bag 1 bag 2 etc. On my patterns I mark what stage I'm at so not spending a lot of time trying to figure out where I am at.
Have a block of the month I started a couple years ago (had some medical problems so couldn't attend the classes and keep up) and it is in a small plastic container by itself and each month the blocks are in the bag they came with (finished and all scraps). Have found this is the easiest for me to keep track of everything.

A freind in our local sewing group is a avon dealer, they send her shipments in great cardboard boxes which she then give to us.

I have bought several stacked plastic scrapbook storage "towers" at Jo-Ann's. The individual bins are big enough to hold 12 1/2" blocks and are 4-5" tall. Works well for scraps too.

I discovered 2 1/2 gallon sized Ziplock bags! They fit all of the pieces, uncut fabric, the pattern, and even the backing! They come 10-12 in a box and I reuse them..... I also ran across brightly colored dishpans for $1 a few years ago and have a bunch of them stacked up in the corner, each containing one quilt project-in-progress. Hope this gives you some ideas!
