The only recording I do is taking photos of the quilt. Since I do robotics, I will keep the layout page I print out and sometimes it will have the size of my blocks, sashings, borders on it too. If I designed the quilt using EQ8, then I'll have that saved as well. All my quilts are gifts to others so I don't bother keeping record where I got the fabrics and I quilt it myself so no problem remembering that either. I do like to go back from time to time to look at the photos, review the quilting layout as I might want to use the same patterns and since I keep the computer file on it too I can go back to see where to find the patterns.
