Quilting design storage
#1
I have piles of lose, large quilting designs on paper. Most are from design packs and have no binders. I am wondering what others have invented to store all these ideas, with out them getting all crumbled up. I mostly want to protect them, it would be a goal of mine to actually organize them into categories of some sort to acutally find something without digging through all of them.
I know I could invest in page protectors and binders, but I really don't want to fold up the big ones.
Thanks for any ideas.

How about storing them like they do blueprints? Roll them up and secure with a rubber band, then stand them on end in a tall container, like a new trashcan. You could put a label on the outside and maybe include a little of the design so that you could see what each one is without having to unroll them.

My longarmer rolls up her panto patterns, slips a low tack piece of tape on the overlap (rubber bands rot and can tear the paper), and stores them in a wine rack. She stores hers by number (written on the corner of the roll) and has a master list for reference, but you could store yours by type (feathers, cables, kids, etc). You could also use a shoe rack instead of a wine rack.
