Thank you for replying to my questions, great job with your patterns. I have begun looking to my magazines that I had maked with color tabs. Think I could organized 2 or 3 book easily. Thank you again :)

Here's where you can get the pattern.

I had purchased the Fons and Porter book and photocopied the pattern out of it so I wouldn't ruin the book while making the quilt.

Thanks and good luck with your patterns. Be sure to post a photo when you get yours all organized. :thumbup:

That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

I have been storing mine, esp the ones from on line sites, in the 3 ring binders........BUT alas, I have too many binders now. .and I can not find anything with ease......one good idea I think I have tho.......as I have used each pattern to make a quilt, I have taken it out and those are all in a single binder that says "tried and liked" so at least I can locate the ones I have tried already and liked...........I don't use the plastic sleeves because they take up too much room in the separate binders...........

What a great idea, I have stacks of them and this would be super to use.

What a cleaver one you are! Great, thanks for sharing!

What a great idea. Wow, I think I am going to start decluttering and head to staples too!

I have several ring binders with plastic sleeves. They're heavy and awkward. I love your idea of the spiral bindings. Office Depot repaired an old favorite (college) cookbook by trimming the ragged pages and applying a spiral binding...put new life in it. Question: did you use a heavier product for the covers?

The spiral binding includes the front and back covers - the front is a clear plastic, and the back is a solid color (your choice) and it's also thick card stock type paper. I believe you can also get a laminated-type backing.

I, too, found the binders with plastic sleeves to be too heavy. This is, at least, half the weight, which was important to me, not to mention the space savings it provides.
