I keep a "quilt journal" in which I document the project. I name the pattern used, designer (if not an original), where I found/bought the pattern (magazine, book, etc) and what inspired me to make that particular project. I include swatches of the fabrics used and include the name of the fabric, manufacturer, style number from selvage (if available) and where I purchased it. I also take photos of the project while in progress and when completed. Sometimes I write my thoughts as I am working on the project. Inspirations, frustrations with the project, who I am making it for and why, etc. I also keep the receipts from the fabric, batting, threads, etc., so I have a record of how much in materials the project cost me. Maybe I include more than most people, but I love to quilt and I love to write, so it is a win/win for me to journal this way. I guess you could call what I do a "hard copy blog"...LOL
