I knew there were a lot of quilts in there that I would never want to attempt to make. Saved a LOT of space. In fact, I just pulled out a really cute miniature quilt pattern last week from my binder. Worked great!

What I do is to photocopy the patterns I want to keep and give the books to my friends at my quilt group so they can use them too. I put the patterns into lever-arch folders in groups--applique--pieced blocks--pieced patterns etc. that way I can find the volume I need easier. every one benefits that way.
