That's why I put an actual copy of the pattern in the file.

Agree! Websites also get redesigned and what was so easy to locate it one day, a month later cannot be found. It may be listed under a new name, a new topic or however the site designer chooses to refresh the site. I save a copy of the pattern in a file on my laptop too. Periodically, I do go through them and dump those that I know that I will never make, just like stash, from time to time it needs to be cleaned out. :)

Your's looks very much like mine but mine is not as qrganized. I also keep a back up on a usb drive just in case I lose the computer files.

Mine's in "the cloud". I can access it from my phone and any computer. No backing up needed.

I use the technology SuzSLO uses. The Notes App. I open up a new title for each project and add notes and pics as I go along, Until the project is completed. Then I take a completed pic of the project and print out my note and place the printed out note and put in a binder. I also keep a list in notes of quilts in progress and what stage I’m at with each project. This is really handy for picking a project to complete. I normally have the project, materials and pattern all together in a bag or normally a box. This works well for me.
