    Just like CraftyPat and Dotha, I use the 2.5 gallon ziploc bags from Walmart and Dollar store. Smaller items are stored in smaller ziploc bags and then placed in the 2.5 gallon bags. Can keep everything visible, neat, clean and together.

    Pizza boxes for me! The guy at the pizzeria laughs when I walk in...all I want is the new boxes (DH buys the pie in the family) He loves telling every body in the place he is my "quilting Piason(buddy)" Gotta love him.

    I store my current project all over my sewing room, on the table in piles, on the cabinets, etc. If I stop to work on something else I have a few baskets, I just dump it all in one to move it out of the way, LOL. Not very organized but works for me.

    Some are in 2 gallon zip lock bags, small pieces are in sandwich size zip locks or plastic Tupperware or they are beside me on the table. Right now, it's 80" of blue bias binding I made for a runner I started last night along with my magnifiers because I had to take it all out after I couldn't get it turned. Trying another method today as it'll be appliqued down anyway.

    ZipLock bags (snack and sandwich size) for individual groups of pieces.then a clear plastic box to hold the entire project.

    These are my favorite quilting tool -- I prefer the Freezer Bags as they are stronger and have write-on labels. Also use the 2 gallon bags to hold the smaller ones for a dedicated project.

    Ditto, here
    I use address labels to mark the bags when needed. Either by block (as in the 12 blocks for the Undergroung Railroad Quilt)

    I place the cut pieces in labeled ziplock bags and place the whole works in a rubbermaid clear plastic cake container. I usually will make copies of the pattern so that I can make notes on it and have it at a manageable size (that way I don't mess up the original). If I'm working on the project, the container sits out on my ironing board or cutting table. Then I'll remove the pieces I need and the corresponding pattern sheet. I then will place the blocks back into the container or design wall. No digging around for the pieces I need. I can misplace something without even getting up from my chair.

    Just in stacks on the shelves of my guest room/fabric storage room when I've cleared off my work space on the kitchen counter. The blocks, sashing, etc. are up on the design wall. Extra fabric is stacked.
