I am getting to where I write down what I want to do with the fabric and tacking it to it so that I can remember what my thinking behind each piece I purchase was.
That's a good idea. I keep a notebook of quilts I've made, quilts I'm working on, quilts I have planned (either pattern, fabric or both) and quilts I want to make someday. If it's planned with the pattern, I bundle all the fabrics together and put them on my shelf with the pattern inclosed. most of my bundles don't have patterns yet, I just bundled fabrics together that I bought to go together. I have about 30 of these bundles so I have lots of future projects to do! LOL
