When I buy yardage, which is most of the time. I do that, too. The owner of my lqs suggested it and it is so worth doing. I always told myself that I would remember the combos that I bought, but with digging, they don't always stay together and my memory isn't what it used to be. Now I put them in the bag and put the pattern with it. If I don't have the pattern I put on the bag what I intended it for.
This is a great idea--then after reserving a little extra for mistakes you can use the remaining fabric to work on scrappy's or table runners etc. Thanks!
