Besides photos, does anyone keep a log of all the quilts you make? For example, the fabric range used, pattern and designer, when it was made, who it was gifted/sold to, the finished size, etc? I was wondering if it was worth doing?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Besides photos, does anyone keep a log of all the quilts you make? For example, the fabric range used, pattern and designer, when it was made, who it was gifted/sold to, the finished size, etc? I was wondering if it was worth doing?

I keep a daily diary in a note book - date, time and briefly what I did for the day: Like this: 7/30/2015 - 10:00-11:30 AM - cut out fabrics black and red for the "Quick Quilt". I have notebooks from when I started in 2011 when I started quilting. I am a retired teacher and administrator; had to keep daily notes and lesson plans so I just carried this over to my quilting.

No, but I think I wish I had. I do have a huge scrap pile to show for my efforts! Is that a record of sorts?

I make a string block from scraps pf each quilt I make. Eventually I'll have enough blocks to make a memory quilt for me.
That is such an awesome idea!!
I have only made 4 quilts so far (newbie) so I think I'm going to start a diary/log too. The diary will probably also help for those days when I need a bit of encouragement to sit down in front of my machine. There are a few here and there

Yes, I keep a record (short) of date I started, date I finished, who for and a picture. I am 1/2 through a Shop Hop in Minnesota right now and keep the Minnesota squares we are given (5x5) and will cut them in half and sew them onto strips of my soon to make jelly roll memory quilt from different places I have been and who I was with. (I started it in 2013 and have lots of jelly rolls, charm packs and fat quarters that I am going to use when I start it probably this Winter) - Minnesota has a really pretty design this year. There are quilting journals that one can buy through Amazon. I have my mother's and now I have my own. Super memories! Have a beautiful day today. Edie
Home is where the rags of your life are turned into quilts, lemons become lemonade and a few extra pounds are simply welcomed as "more of you to love."

Only pictures of finished quilts and the name of where they were gifted. This is a recent thing for me.

I do the same thing that QuiltingHaven does. I just bought a new agenda notebook for next year. Its fun looking back to see just what I have or have not finished over time.

No, I don't. I just have photos to remind me of the quilts I have made.
