I also do this but store them on CD/DVD RW compact disks so that my computer doesn't overload, graphics take up fair bit of memory. I label the disks into categories i.e. Kids Stuff (holds patterns for baby and kids quilts, toys, clothes etc), then, Quilts, Home Decore, Clothing, do this to suit your own gathering of patterns etc.
