My favorite patterns from magazines, I put in plastic protectors & file in a binder. Blocks, I have another binder for them plus a file folder for BOM's. I have another file folder for quilts I want to make, another folder for paper piecing and templates, and one of quilt photos I like (as well as computer files for favorite quilts from shows and free patterns that I file from online sources). Magazines, I dog ear any patterns I like till I get them filed in the binder, then I toss the magazine. Quilt books, I have filed in a bookcase in no definite order or I might just keep a book right with the fabric purchased to go with a pattern. Purchased patterns, same thing, I keep them with the fabrics to be used or file them in the bookcase.
