The other day, I mentioned that I had a bit of a layer cake and charm pack storage problem. I often open up the bundles to show you pictures. Instead of using a single collection in a quilt, I mix and match using pieces of the bundles across multiple projects. Storing the remaining fabrics has always come with a bit of clutter.
Today, while wandering the kitchenware aisle at Spotlight, I found a thin pastry storage box from Decor. By eye, it looked perfect. I hopped over to the quilting aisle, used a ruler and measured it up. It was spot on for the purpose. 10" squares fit perfectly with just enough room around the edges for me to easily rifle through the stack when I needed to find prints. It's only about an 1" deep, so it doesn't take up too much space. For now, I only need one box, but it's great to see that they'll nicely nest if I get more. #storagejunkie
For the Australians, I found this box at Spotlight. I've left the sticker in the photo so you can easily see which you are looking for.

Great idea - they sell Decor at Woolies, too. If I buy them during a grocery shop then they don't come out of my allocated quilting budget. Sneaky shopping.
ReplyDelete;-) that's clever...
DeleteLove that you have a slush fund!
DeleteI love that idea!
ReplyDeleteSmart lady... Big W and Woolies in Australia often have half price on ore Decor plastic storage too so keep an eye on the catalogues. There may even be a charm square size that's deeper but matches?
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea! I will keep an eye out for a few of those!
