I keep a 3 ring binder and page protectors. I recycle copy paper to tape pictures on. I get the pictures from every where, like magazines, brocherues. I love color and to study shadows in nature. I look through that notebook all the time. Once it was really full and I had 12 baskets I wanted to appilque. I looked at my binder and selected the 12 color combos from my book. They really came out looking great and I was pleased because I was able to use the binder. I think this one tip has helped me often. I share it with new quilters.
