Oh and how many have you printed only to discover you already have it? It is so adicting. I only hope I have the time to make them all.

I print them, staple the pattern together and put it in a sheet protector and then in a binder. I have three big binders and need to make another one. I find I do not use the patterns of whole quilts as much as I do patterns of blocks.

I have printed out a few patterns but I found myself not using them and it used up a whole lot of ink. And then one time I was shopping with my mother and we went to Staples. She bought a whole case of paper and I don't know how many ink cartridges. Then I took a hard look at her "office." My sister and I are going to have to rent one of those giant dumpsters just to haul away all the tons and tons of emails and cross stitch patterns and who knows what else she's printed out.

Now I have folders and save ideas I may want to use on the computer. If it disappears before I get around to doing it, oh well, there are another thousand new ideas to take its place!

Oh my gosh, I have stacks, too. I'm so tired of buying ink though. Not a cheap thing.

I have bunches of them. As a fairly new quilter (less than 2 yrs) I collected any that appealed to me in some way, as I had no idea what I would enjoy doing. Have enough to keep me going for years .

OMG! You peeked! I just moved and in unpacking I have them everywhere. Since I couldn't sew (everything packed) I printed every 'bucket list, want to do' I could find. Now that I am unpacking, I am back to buying stash - woohoo my favorite thing to do.

I am so going to steal your flash drive idea, and clean up some of my folders on the computer, and still have easy access. Thanks for sharing that idea.

I only need to live 100 more years to make all those quilts I have saved patterns for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ones I print out I put in a binder-the others in a Quilt file on my computer:o

I thought I was the only one who did such things . . . I have 2 binders full, one for "table runners" and one for "quilts". I think there's enough patterns to last my lifetime, but here I go again and now start "saving" on my computer. I guess we just get inspired :thumbup:
