I probably end up snapping at least two dozen photos of my quilts in various stages of production. It really lets me knowif I'm on the right track ...

I agree - it really helps me to keep track of the quilt progress and to catch mistakes.

Yes, especially when this happens! - and, yes, luckily I had taken a picture of my layout before Lizzie rearranged all the blocks.

I had finished the top of a Christmas quilt and had a friend in my quilting group hold it up so I could take a picture of it. Everyone in the group saw the quilt and commented on it. It wasn't until I was looking at the pic a couple of days later that I realized that I had sewn a row on upside down! I was glad I had seen it before pinning the layers together! Without the picture, it would have gone unnoticed!

I take pictures of all of my projects. They are fun to look at and if you ever need to do one similar , you have it to go back to.

I also use my camera phone for quick reference. Have recently started using my Dell tablet. Shows more detail.

I started doing this when I first got a digital camera. It really does help when you have to lay the blocks out just so.

Once I got my ipod touch i started using that and now I use my phone.
