I agree with you 100%. Have been using Quilter's Cache for years. I print out the pattern and then I have it forever. I also write down on the pattern what quilt it went on (if it was a sampler) and who it was for and the date. I have three notebooks with the patterns in them. When I plan a new Sampler, I go through the book and pick out what jumps out at me. I prefer the 12" blocks and they are easy to work, and I really enjoy this. Besides which, when you open a book, it almost always closes up again. When you print out the Q.C. patterns, they lay nice and flat.
I have the books from my mother's collection of patterns. I look through them and drool, but I have found the Quilter's Cache to be the easiest and neatest way to do the "job"! Edie
