Quilting is really a wonderful art and way to express your talents. It’s also gratifying to keep the history of what my grandmother taught me well over 60 years ago.

LEGAL sized 4-drawer filing cabinets on scratch & dent sales. Each hanging file can hold about 6 different pieces of fabrics. I have each drawer sorted into various colors and/or holidays. I hang them so no fabric touches the bottom of the drawers – only the bottom of the actual files. It is soooo nice now! All I have to do is open the appropriate door and wa la…I can see all the fabric in each color I’m looking for!! I store my scraps in stacking plastic opaque drawers.

For my UFO’s I like to use the 12×12 plastic boxes and stack on a shelf. I label all my boxes, I use the removable stickers so I can remove when the project is finished.

I have a couple of tips, 1 for storing vliesofix, freezer paper and other items with a removable backing, I keep them rolled up and placed into a postage cylinder. I cover mine with old sheet music but you could use any pretty paper or even fabric. I also pop in one
of those small sachets of ‘stuff’ that you get in the box when you buy shoes, to absorb moisture. You can also find them in with
your vitamins, new handbags etc. Using the sachets in the cylinders helps to stop the backing paper coming away.Tip 2 is
using these little sachets in any container
that holds metal objects. For example pins, scissors, needles, rotary cutters etc. it helps to keep rust at bay and your tools will last much longer.

They usually hold most of the pieces for a project and stand up nicely. Or I use the 9 x 12 plastic zip bags for smaller projects (available on Amazon) Then I file them in a file cabinet by season. I also use small decorative bags w/handles for fabrics that look great together that I would like to use for a project but haven’t found the right project yet! Start with something that will fit on whatever shelving you might already have at least until you find something that really works the easiest for you.

Since I keep getting the blocks each month, I use a magazine box to store them in until I do the chance to make it.

The link takes me to this section instead. I tried it 4 times.

For in process projects I use the clear flat plastic zipper bags that bedspreads come in. Since I usually have quilts(!!) I have my friends save them for me! They are square and stay in one place filled with whatever fabrics I am using for the project.
