Seems these days or just that I've noticed it now, most of our quilting magazines come digital too so I go thru the digital set, download any quilt pattern that catches my eye at the time, put them into a folder by the month/year onto my PC. I do this for all the magazines I have a subscription to. I also copy the photo of any quilt that catches my eye say from this site and put it into a folder called "Future Quilts". So when I'm looking for a new idea, I can go thru this folder for ideas and then look for the pattern or try to come up with my own pattern.

Got the idea from this site for putting my D9P blocks on point and it came just in the knick of time as I was getting ready to put the blocks together that very day. Also get ideas for color schemes from just looking at photos of quilts from the various sites.

Oh yes, I do keep my magazines too just in case I have a PC crash.
