    I do the same as you, but I did not think to put the ones I made in a different binder. Great idea! Thanks for this tip.

    This is just what I do, Keep the ones I like in binders with sheet protecters in alphabetic order. I also keep misc projects in a different binder. Finished projects- photo then put in a different binder of completed Patterns. I also have several photo pics I look at, then I can go find pattern that match. This works for me.

    I am a binder/page protector person, too. However, I sort my patterns by technique: applique, paper piecing, quilting patterns, etc. I also keep a "table of contents" listing each pattern by name and type (star, log cabin, etc.) so I can find what I want more quickly.

    My guild has a yard sale coming up, so I'll probably weed out those patterns that I probably will not get around to using.
