system of numbering quilt blocks
#11
I just take one row at a time off my design wall, press and square up blocks and then look again at my picture of the completed quilt to be sure I'm putting the pairs of blocks together in the right orientation of each block. And once I've stitched a row together I put the completed row back up on the design wall before taking down the next row.
Works for me...

I use small stick on circles from office supply store. 1/1 = Row 1 Block 1. They don't seem to leave behind sticky residue. I use a sharpie to write on them. Easy to use and disposable. I'm going to check out the excel spreadsheet and picture idea if I have a longer term project though.
I've been doing it this way for years. If I have a graph paper sketch of my block layout I number it too just for reference, but usually I just number the first row A1, A2, A3, etc. and the next row starts B1 and so forth. I use garage sale stickers that are a couple of dollars for 500 or so at WalMart. I also have a set of binder clips that are numbered 1-100 from some project years ago that I use occasionally too.....

I found this site. It has the rows and blocks printed out and suggests you laminate them or put them on cardstock and punch a hole in the corner. I'm going to try it.
