I use binders with categories like Tips, Purses/bags, Blocks, Quilts etc. Then I have magazine holder s for the mags. I only tear out patterns that I really love and want to make and put them in the binders. I've only been quilting 1.5 years and I already have a lot. When my only mag subscrip runs out, I'm not renewing. I can find any pattern I want on the net and tons of tutorials, ideas and links to sites on this QB. The mags are just recycling ideas.
