Those are both great tips, @AIMR and @Edel! I like the jumbo 2.5 gallon Hefty bags to store everything in. They’re such a great size for so many different projects!

I’ve been sorta doing this for a while(or trying). I have bags but also use the 12x12 plastic scrapbook cases. But this made me think I need to be more consistent. I have a beautiful teal backing I bought for a quilt and the pattern, the fabric and partial blocks, and backing are all in different places. At least it’s a rare enough color to flag my brain every time I see it “don’t use it! You bought it for a reason”

I was inspired by the current bingo call to make this for DH. I could call this a prototype, because the stitching is decidedly shonky in places, but who am I kidding I’m never making another one!
Husband is going on a retirement cruise and so I’ve been making him bowties today for the formal nights. And I thought of a dedicated bowtie+cufflinks pouch, that could be hung inside the cabin, but also functioned as a pouch for travel..
Dug out all my vaguely nautical scraps and made this pieced and quilted pouch thing.
It opens up flat, (zipper on each side), hanging loop at top
Little pockets close with snaps and are transparent in front (which was why I needed the dodgy binding, as the plastic wouldnt hold up over time). It holds 5 bowties

I am constantly surprised at the practical and fun things people who sew make to fill a function! I believe this is the first bow tie carrier I have ever seen!

I, AIMR, submit 3 pouches and a basket, completing 4 of my goal list items. The wide mouth pouches are from quilty media, specifically, a blog by Noodlehead. I would say that a lot of my projects meet the challenge this quarter because I find a lot of inspiration on one particular site and thread…Lettuce Craft! 
I posted more details here.

For the bingo prompt:
07/23 - Share some pics of your fabric stash
It’s a small stash because most of mine was tossed into storage in May to try making room for guests (aka: hide my mess). This is what I have right here.
This is a project box with the pink fabrics I’ve been using this year for challenge blocks, two new fabrics I bought today, and some muslin and 2” strips I picked up at a quilt guild meeting earlier this month. I’ve cut most of them into pieces for the Bonnie Hunter 2025 Leaders and Enders challenge my guild took on as a challenge to make charity quilts.
Also.. Woah! Did the site update? It just linked my photo immediately rather than all the upload/processing/maybe load, maybe freeze I’ve dealt with forever.

Nice selection of pinks!
Yes, the site did update! You can also click on each picture and immediately make them smaller or larger or trash them by clicking on the symbols in the upper left! No more percentages typing!

One of the bingo prompts was to share a quilting tips. I submit
Measure twice, cut once.
Simple, not profound, but all I can think of at the moment. Do I do it? No. Do I know better? Yes. Does that change anything? Not at all lol
