Quilting Journal
#15

I have a separate binder journal for my quilts. When I finish a piece I am really pleased with, I take photos of front and back and details and make them into a collage photo page with anything else I want to say about the piece. On another page I paste fabric swatches and add anything I can about pattern sources, fabric names, etc.

I am keeping a record of the time I put in on my white-on-white quilt, and sometimes I add thoughts to the time notations. Comments on things I have problems with, solutions to the problems, good ideas I have about making part of the project easier--stuff like this goes in with the time. I keep all these notes in a small (about 6 in. x 8 in.) "blank book" that I plan to include with the rest of the quilt documentation. The main purpose of the little book is to keep track of the time so that when someone asks me, "How long did it take you to do this?" I will be able to tell that person how many hours I spent quilting. :-)

I do. I actually have two. One I have with pictures of the front, sometimes the back and a closeup of some of the quilting. The other, I have a picture of the quilt on one side and on the other a description of the block or pattern used, who it was made for and when it was completed. I really should make a note of how big it is also.
