I found this site. It has the rows and blocks printed out and suggests you laminate them or put them on cardstock and punch a hole in the corner. I'm going to try it.

I also use the little round stickers you find at office supply stores, along with a photo on my digital camera. I just started taking some classes from Craftsy and they are great! There is one, Magical Jelly Roll Quilts by Kimberly Einmo, where she demonstrates how to use a chain-piecing technique that encompasses the whole quilt! I always chain piece, but have never seen it done for all rows and columns. The quilt top ends up looking like its all held together by a spider web. Look for it in Lesson 3 of the series where she is teaching the Jacob's Ladder quilt. This avoids all need to label the rows and columns.

Here is an idea that may help with those little laminated tags...instead of punching one hole and having to use a safety pin, punch two holes (use a smaller-hole craft punch if you happen to have one) and insert a straight pin down in one hole, up in the next. That way you don't have to fiddle around with opening and closing those safety pins.

I use small stick on circles from office supply store. 1/1 = Row 1 Block 1. They don't seem to leave behind sticky residue. I use a sharpie to write on them. Easy to use and disposable. I'm going to check out the excel spreadsheet and picture idea if I have a longer term project though.

system for laying out blocks
Awhile back someone posted a link to a webpage where there was a page you could print out so you could number your quilt blocks for assembly.
I think it was A1, A2,.. or 1A, 1B...
Then it went to second row...
Hopefully someone bookmarked it... I have tried search area but can't locate it and need to get the blocks off the guest bed.
Thanks.
