    I have good intentions!

    I've taken pictures of most and even have a scrapbook to put them into. My plans are to include the fabric samples, pictures, size and some of the pertinent details.

    I get busy quilting ... and I keep meaning to, but????

    Someday soon, I MUST!! :)

    No, but I wish I had. I do have some pictures and notes regarding some of them. The kids have most of them.

    I print a page with the picture of the quilt, and then put in the name, size, pattern, date, fabrics, and who I made it for.

    I had started a journal of them in a three ring binder. Haven't kept up with it. But do have pictures of all my quilts and still know enough to catch it up.
    My DH's aunt got me started on that.
    Other info that she includes in her journals are:
    her favorite instructors, classes she has taken, or taught, how she got her start, and any other information that her kids, grandkids and others would find interesting as they see or have her quilts.

    I had even kept pieces of the fabrics I used in the quilts which is nice to have if you give the quilt away or sell it. You will have the picture as well as the fabric.

    I bought two cheap scrapbooks and made a page for each of the quilts I've made. I keep swatches of fabrics, date that I started and finished, some of the thoughts I've had. I love journaling, do it faithfully and have a small (dollar store purchased) journal for each of my quilts.

    Have pictures of most of them and keeping thinking I'll get them put in a album with the information about the quilts.
