Any suggestions?
I use magazine holders and sort my quilt books and patterns by methods ie...Eleanor Burns, Kaye Wood, etc. I put misc. patterns in another magazine holder. Usually I am thinking of a method, before I pick a pattern. If I am not thinking of anything specific--out they all come, but in their holder, so they can go back the same way.
