Default Wouldn't it be fun to journal your quilts like this?

I just got next year's calendar from one of my vendors. It pictures old timey paintings, very folk art.

They are paintings by Jane Wooster Scott. She has 2 which show quilts.

One is titled "Quigley's Quality Quilts" and that is the one that gave me the idea. Searching for a pic to show you, I found another titled "Quilts of Cape Cod".

My idea is what if we journaled the quilts we made, do a wall hanging with a house that looks like ours. Then, have several clothes lines around, or fences. And as we finish a real quilt, we take a photo of it, and print it on fabric, true color, and hang it on the clothesline! It would show us all the variety in color and pattern, and help us remember what we have done. Plus it would give us a fun wall hanging!

Here is the pics from the calendar:
