I have this problem too. I've actually quit subscribing to quilt magazines because I find there might be one pattern that I really like. I've tried tearing out the pattern(s) and putting them in a notebook and typing all the patterns' names and inserting this in the front of the book. I like the idea from Diane in Alabama about the 3x5 cards. It would take a lot of work but you would surely know what you have. Thanks for the great organizing tips.
