I usually just take a 'photo of any finished quilt - not much more --- BUT - I am doing a Dear Jane quilt - (169 different 4 1/2" blocks - 52 - 5" x 8" triangles and 4 corner Kites) and I have kept a journal of the date I completed the block - colours used and then added a running total of how many pieces of fabric I had used. I am now adding 1" sashing to each block and sewing them all together. I started this LONG project back in 2007 - and
now - I am hopefully on the homewood stretch. Here is a link to my design wall if you would care to have a look.

It's one of those things i've always wanted to do but just can't quite fit into my schedule

Same here. I'm not into repeating patterns, so this works for me.

I took pictures of every quilt since I started (only about 18 months ago) and my husband is the one who encouraged me to put them in a small photo album/scrap book and that way I can look back at them. So I have done that, put them in the order I made them, wrote a little blurb, who it was for, when it was finished, name of type of quilt (warm wishes, etc). I have at least one pic of front and back and I ask the recipient to send me a pic of them with the blanket so I can add to that page. Once you get started it's not so hard to keep up with. I just send my pictures to walmart and wait for them to arrive in the mail. Much better than when you used to have to take the film in and have it developed and hoped you remembered what was on the roll! Those were the days!

I make notes in a binder. The front of the binder is titled "FAMILY QUILTS". I have patterns with color photos and family names on them. This also includes friends (they're family too). I also have swatches from the selvage edges of the material I'm using or used. These are all in archival sleeves with post it notes and anything else I need or want to note. It is a 3" binder. I also have their birthdays and anniversaries. My husband knows exactly what this binder is for and he also adds notes. If anything happens to me, he can figure this out. he knows how to sew and if he wants to work on something he can. he also is very detail-oriented.

Usually I take photos during the process and then a final photo. I keep a record of when I started and finished and who I gave it to, and for what occasion
