I use the sheet protectors and binders. The only problem I have is when I want to keep more than one pattern and the folded up part with the actual "patterns" on it has them printed on both sides of the pattern... keeping the two (or more) patterns together with the quilt design is sometimes tricky. hmmmm, maybe I should just right then copy the shapes to freezer paper.. then I could keep it with the quilt design.
Help, someone, with a better plan!?
