shoofly box

I went to Sam's club Tuesday for, of all things, prunes. I was pretty sure they are not flying off the shelve and I would find some. I stopped at Aldi's first looking for prunes, and, found to my surprise, fresh produce and some canned fruit and vegetables, but, no prunes. It takes awhile after surgery to  - you need prunes.
I found them at Sam's, and I found this great plastic storage container begging to come home with me. It didn't have a fever so I brought it home.
Each container in the set of 4 is smaller than a shoebox.


Two of them have removeable dividers. Each compartment is about 2 1/2 inches - hmmm


I just knew it would be great for shoofly blocks. I could keep the finished blocks in a plain container and the pieces in the  divided container.


And I can keep the set together.



I have made 40 shoofly blocks. I read that Bonnie Hunter has started to web her shoofly quilt together with 194 blocks. I guess I have a few more to make.

    I hear your on your husband's need for prunes-daughter had surgery last year several times over six weeks and she had the need for them too it was a very painful time in her life. I'm so glad you found all you needed. Take care and keep quilting!

    How funny (or maybe just frustrating) about the prunes! Not an item I would think there'd be a problem keeping in stock. Those storage boxes look very handy, and I love your shoo fly blocks! 192 of those little guys does sound like a lot!
