Block Keeper
Teresa over at All Things Vintage shows how you can make a block keeper using a cardboard cylinder you can buy at the post office. I made one of these many years ago and it is very similar to Teresa's except I finished both ends of the fabric and then sewed velcro on the one end so that it wraps around the cylinder. You can then take it off if you ever need to wash it.
