I spend so much time searching for & printing great patterns but I don't take the time to organize them into notebooks. Then when I want one of them, I can't find them. It's hopeless. Nooooo, I'm the one who's hopeless. It's just so much fun though.

actually, you are right - - it would help us accomplish a lot more if we went all the way back to the first pattern, magazine, or book we purchased and just worked through the patterns ..
Just last week, I think I figured it out - - the only thing different from what inspired us a few years ago and today are the fabrics ... basically, we are working with very simple quilt blocks. <wave>

Exactly...I look at all the books to see just how the new fabrics are used in some basic blocks and combinations.
On the other hand, new ways to tweek the old patterns also draws me...so ......
if the "old stuff was "old" than why do we by reproductions, or make yo-yo's with the new Batiks and Asians? The rich new fabrics give the old faithful "pazzaz"....(you know what I mean!) :thumbup:

We have a choice - - world affairs or fabric and patterns .... hmmm... I am with you - - the fabric/pattern idea is far more appealing <wave>
