I am a fanatic for reusing containers. But this idea came from a blogging friend's simple comment about her husband loving ice cream and she saves the containers.
I am saving them now. Really more than saving them...I am using them!!!!
The square container works a bit better for patchwork but I prefer the ice cream that comes in the round container. I use peel-able labels to identify what I am storing. These have not become a permanent storage for me yet. But they work great for beginning to organize a project.
Here is my project box for the Hexie swap I joined. I am making sure there is no contamination of cat fur here. The Hostess says she is deathly allergic to cat fur. I will do my best to keep her healthy!!!!
I made a few more blocks today. I need 18 of this block "A". Only eight more to go. This is NOT Easy Street. The pattern is called Eye Fooler. I bought the pattern three years ago. It was designed by Spruce Creek Designs for Krisanne Watkins. That is all the information I have from the pattern envelope. Sorry.
EDIT: Thanks for the information. This is how I bought mine...directly from the designer.

We have a couple inches of snow. Hubby has been out there twice now keeping ahead of the snowfall. What a man. For his reward he gets Ribble soup.
MaggieMae had her "butt" hair trimmed by us today. She is not happy. But we are!
This fabric I thought would not be approved for the Hexie swap. But after sewing and sending a photo to the Hostess, it was approved.
I am sorry to say this fabric was NOT approved. Too much background fabric showing. And I totally agree with the Hostess. This fabric will not be exchanged.

I did a google search and found a blog post from about a year ago with some more information.

I love the deli meat containers from SAms Club. They are great for storing cut pieces. And I love ribbel soup!!
What a choice -- between the ice cream you really want and the one that provides better storage! :-)
I use ice cream containers for all kinds of quilty storage - strips - a different container for each color in the 2 1/2" size, and by size in the other strips, squares, tiny triangles, and on and on. The round ones are good to store binding. And it's also a really good excuse to eat more ice cream. :)
I started using strawberry containers and blue berry contianers for scraps. but now Ihave som any scrap containers that I need to move them some where else. I have them in the closet w 2&2.5" strips and for my leader ender project.
We like the Blue Bunny ice cream as well! We usually get vanilla and sprinkle cinnamon on top. They say that cinnamon is good for you.
I can't wait to see more of your Eye Fooler quilt. I also have that pattern but have not started it yet. It was given to me by my good friend Janet (Rogue Quilter)
Have a wonderful and Blessed day

Thank you so much for sharing the photos of the ice cream containers for storage. I will be trying out the ice cream in the square boxes soon.
