That's a great idea. My scrap that I'm trying to match is usally at the bottom of my purse. And I can never remember how much I need. Your system would work sooooo much better!

That is what I do, but this is a good idea. I probably won't take a book with me just the pieces of fabric.

Might be interesting to see how long it took when you look in your book in years to come.

I agree with your suggestion. I do have that information in my little book. I move each card to the back of the book when the quilt is done and gone. I have not been quilting for very long and it has been an on and off process over the years, so my little book is not full, but I am looking forward to starting a second album. I can spend more time quilting and painting as I am now retired.

I have a 'brag book' I use to keep photos of finished quilts with an info card behind each photo. I made a cover for mine...(no pattern just measured book & started cutting & sewing)

But I REALLY like your idea Oma! for carrying scraps to fabric store!! Guess I will have to make me another!

so, so cute. Sure looks nicer and looks like it belongs to a quilter.
