Yes, I have tried to keep photos of the quilts I've made. The only quilt I didn't take a picture of was one I made for a friend with pancreatic cancer that was found too late. I made the quilt for her chemo sessions, and when she passed away, her DH asked me if it would be ok for the quilt to be buried with her. It was an honor to say Yes.
I wish I had a picture of her with that quilt. I miss her.
