    I print every free pattern that calls to me from the internet. I'm afraid when I really need one it will have been removed. Have only bought a few.

    I have gathered several just since July. I also tend to buy about any quilting magazine I see also.

    I have a ton of patterns, plus a lot of friends that share patterns with me. One of my best organizational things I've done is a large 3 ring binder, and 3hole punch all the patterns from magazines, copied or whatever. Then the little Post It tabs, and I write the pattern name on the tab, on the outside of the page. I have a whole section of totes, table runners, holiday, etc...but I can quickly locate patterns that used to take me hours to find.
    I also have quite a few little patterns, that come in a reclosable 6 x 8 or whatever baggie. I finally just put all of those in a wicker basket. They are at least confined, and I can find them when I want them.
    The sad part is that the rest of my (husband calls it CRAP room)craft room is a fiasco...and I hope to spend some time this weekend sorting and reorganizing!

    I don't consider this a "problem". To me it is another "collection". I have hundreds of books and patterns plus my fabric "stash". I get many enjoyable hours just looking and dreaming. Enjoy the "eye candy".

    Same here! Not counting those I finally organized into several binders. They all look soooooo good and interesting and beautiful. I tend to complain when there's too much to choose from on a menu or at the market, but . . . . :lol:
