Gosh you are organized. I usually just focus on one project (for buying) and have little pieces in a plastic envelope and when I come back I empty it and put it in my fabic area to reuse over and over. I do like your idea a lot.

Very good and useful and do-able tip!
Thanks.

It's good too for when you are out and about shopping, put pieces in that you need a coordinate for, for when you make that "next" or "someday" project.

Might be interesting to see how long it took when you look in your book in years to come.

I agree with your suggestion. I do have that information in my little book. I move each card to the back of the book when the quilt is done and gone. I have not been quilting for very long and it has been an on and off process over the years, so my little book is not full, but I am looking forward to starting a second album. I can spend more time quilting and painting as I am now retired.

I added a tiny drawing of the block made; grandmother's fan on the bottom page and pinwheel on the top page. I also take photos of each quilt when finished and keep an album of all the quilts that I have made over the years.

I have a 'brag book' I use to keep photos of finished quilts with an info card behind each photo. I made a cover for mine...(no pattern just measured book & started cutting & sewing)

But I REALLY like your idea Oma! for carrying scraps to fabric store!! Guess I will have to make me another!

Great idea! If you wanted to go larger, you could try the pages used for baseball cards in a 3 ring binder.

Super idea! I get to the quilt store and forget what I wanted. I then think well, I'll wait until I can get the pattern and type material I want. Ends up I get nothing. Thanks for the tip!

I second this absolutely! Thank you for sharing your great idea with us!
