    You could hold them for one of SheriR's swaps and trade them then. Or make a quilt!

    Make a quilt out of them! I have a shoe box sized bin packed full of them and at least two quilts in progress using them that are more than half finished. Ahhhhh, I will figure it out eventually.

    Oh drat, Happylab. I forgot to enclose your birthday card with the candies I sent so the package only has your squares. (Discovered the card this morning on my desk; sorry for the goof!) You should get your candies today or tomorrow at the latest. My board name is with the return address. Thanks.

    Happylab, your candies went out yesterday. Next week will be a busy one.

    How do you store your 2 1/2" squares. I have been trying to find a bin that has 2 1/2" compartments, but I just haven't come up with anything yet. I don't want to sort them all out just to have them get mixed up again. I know I could do baggies, but I was thinking if I could find a box that would be so much nicer.

    I use fabric lined USPS boxes. A Large Flat Rate box for 2.5", a Medium Flat Rate box for 2", and a small shipping box for 1.5" charms. Hope this helps.
    hugs,

    I separate the rows with left over card board cut to fit and stack the rows two deep.

    Recycle boxes shipped to me if in good condition or I get a new one at Post Office.
    After finishing PSQ, I recycle the boxes to ship Secret Santa swap, or to the kids for birthdays.
    Have almost enough to do PSQ#3, then will attempt 1.5" PSQ, scary small!
