This is what I do too with a bit of editing.

I copy & paste into a word file. Then I change the margins to narrow, reduce the size of the instructional pictures to less than half the width of the page. I get rid of the extra chatty instructions. I select all and change the format to two columns.

Above the columns, at the beginning of the paper, I make sure to have a large picture of the finished quilt. Below the picture I have the name and link to the original source. When everything is the way I want it I resave it as a PDF file. If I set the folders viewing as thumbnail I see the picture of the quilt. If I have duplicate pictures I can check to see if the patterns are also duplicated.
