Storing Large Quilting Pattern Pieces

Paper Towel Tubes

To store larger pattern pieces for appliqué, I just roll them up and put them in a empty paper towel cardboard tube. I store them in a box large enough that if the pattern is longer than the tube it won't bend or tear. I usually just use a shirt box, just mark the outside, especially if you have a lot of projects going on a one time.

Artist Portfolio

I store all my large quilting patterns and stencils in an artist portfolio. It has sturdy handles and works well for flat storage with the two sides and zippered closings.
