I'm not organized enough to keep a journal, although I think it's a great idea. About the closest I get to keeping track of quilting projects is putting the number of the project on the label along with name, date, name of project. For example, my last quilt finished was my 13th project done, so that went on the label. I figure that someday when I'm long gone my family might find it interesting to know where a particular quilt fit into my history. And then I take a picture of the quilt and of the quilt label. As easy as this is, I am two projects behind - the pictures are in the computer but not printed for my photo book. Someday......
