My purse is filled with scraps I was trying to match at one time or another. A little more organization would be a good idea for me.

That's a fabulous idea. I usually stick a snippet in my purse, and half the time can't find it once I get to the store!

I usually paste up a 8 1/2 by 11 pice of computer paper with my fabrics and keep it in the car. I write on it what is needed and use that. I like this idea very much and might go with this instead. Thanks so much for sharing.

i actually bought a little book that is just for fabric years ago. I had forgotten about it but found it in a box the other day. I opened it up and it was like a little treasure book..there were snippets of projects from long ago...Fun memories. =)

Oh man I wish I was that organized.I just grab and go and hope to get it right!! I have heard of taking the salvage edge with the color dots to help match I like your idea!

Such a good thing to have on hand when shopping. I'm guilty of forgetting the swatches at home and try to shop from memory. It's good for the stash, but not so good on the wallet or time.......sometimes. :P

You are so organized!! Like someone else said I just take a small piece of the fabric I am trying to work with! But your idea is a great thing to have even after the quilt is done. You could go ahead and put the date you finished it and who it went to! And don't forget to put the date you started the quilt, too! Might be interesting to see how long it took when you look in your book in years to come.
