I store all mine in 3 ring binders. One binder is labeled Ideas, this is just pictures of quilts I like or want to remember but do not have the pattern for. Other binders are labeled quilt paterns-season(spring, summer, fall, winter) binders labeled quilt- holiday ( birthday, easter, halloween, thanksgiving, christmas) binders labeled Kids- baby, teen, young adult. binders labeled home decor, this is where I keep paterns for runners, placemats, mantel scarfs, curtains, ect. I also have a binder labeled craft sewing, this has things like pincushions, games, toys ect. All patterns have a picture with them, you could copy a second picture for your Idea folder if you want, I found I really need a photo with the pattern if the instructions don't make sence to me I can sometimes figure it out by looking at a photo. I also have a binder labeled My Journal this is where I keep all information on every thing I sew, pattern name who for, problems things to do diffrently next time, also a picture of the finished product. Good luck with your organization project.
