I am one of those that keeps a record of everything I make. I designed an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet with the information that I thought I would want to know/refer to later. I take pictures of all my quilts and put them with my sheet of information. I make a label for every quilt/project. If there are special things are instructions about the quilt, I include that on the label also. Each project is numbered. All of my information sheets with their pictures are in protective covers and placed in 3-ring binders. I include fabric samples with some of my project information. My binders are labeled beginning with 1 and the dates of the projects in that notebook are included on the notebook label. I include all my notes and any designs I drew or sketched with every project- usually on graph paper. I think I'm up to projects number 66, 67, and 68 and binder number 9. I started quilting in January 2010 and have never stopped. I know this sounds crazy and seems like a lot of work, but for me it helps me keep my projects organized in my head and helps me with my future UFO's. It sure does set ongoing goals and future projects. If I make a quilt for someone in particular, I write a "story" about the project and give it to them along with the quilt (and of course, I keep a copy...lol) All of this sounds like a lot, but it really isn't when you consider you're only working on one or two or three at a time..... This may be what happens when you were an Executive Specialist and you had to constantly document, document, document and keep up with about 10 or 15 execs and 20-25 Supervisors. Whew - glad I'm retired. Sorry for the long note, but my reasoning took some explaining......thanks for your patience in reading my book.
