Put all those pics on a screen saver for your computer, then take the computer to the quilting loft. How inspiring would it be to look at all those quilts popping up as your sewing!!!!

I clip patterns from my quilt magazines and put them into sleeves which I file in binders marked "Baby," "Christmas," "Asian," Stars," "hearts," etc. I often joke that I only hope I live long enough to make all these quilts!!!

LOL! I am so there already! Shopping for mens shirts the other day, I grabbed a whole handful on hangers and asked my friend, "wouldn't these look great in a D9P?" Is there a cure, or should I give in and start adding old flannel shirts to my fabric pile?

I'm sorry, there is no cure. Once you have been bitten by the quilting bug, there is no hope known to man. You will be a quilter for life. Welcome to our world.

I do a copy and paste of the quilts I like, then save them to a special folder. Every once in a while I copy the folder to a portable flash drive and save them for when I need to be re energized or want to make something but can't decide what. They are my wanta make ideas. Some are actual free patterns I've found here and there and saved them to the same folder. By putting them on a flash drive you can still add to it or delete those you no longer want. If you use CD's, you'll need the rewrite able ones and those are much more expensive where the cheaper ones can't be added to. Flash drives are getting really inexpensive lately. A 4 or 8 GB will hold more than you'll ever make in a lifetime.
