How I Organize Quilt Pieces
You know that beginning phase of a quilt where you have a bajillion little pieces, usually several of each kind? How do you keep them sorted, relatively wrinkle-free, and easy to collect together and take to sew days or retreats? Here’s what I’ve been doing lately.
I am working on this pattern called Winter Solstice by Patti Carey. I am making it in shades of blues and teals instead of the grays pictured. Pictured above is a stack of paper plates. Each plate contains one set of pieces. See the below image for more detail.
When I’m traveling to a sew day or a retreat, I just stack up all of the plates and bring them along. I really like Artbin Super Satchels, this is how I store most of my projects when I’m not actively working on them.
That’s it! Quick and easy, hope it helps. I originally heard this tip from Libs Elliott, so thanks to her. If you have other ideas for storing quilt pieces, I’d love to hear them!
