I bought several sets of pretty boxes when I was doing my quilt studio. I keep all my patterns in one of the larger boxes. I have a few patterns I've bought and some freebies from the web but I don't always have an acquired pattern as I'm lucky enough to be able to draw my own. These are sometimes done on graph paper which is in a book or sometimes I'll just grab a sheet of printer paper and this will go into the box too. Sometimes it may start from a doodle on the back of an old envelope. As long as the measurement all align I can usually follow it. Hope this makes sense.
