Yes, I agree with the frustration of trying to find a particular fabric scrolling thru all the months. I have been thinking of a way to make it easier. Don't know if a cheat sheet would be the best on an index card. You can always save fabrics to your own personal library. I have yet to find out how to copy my old personal fabric library over from my old EQ4 program. Until I can resolve that issue, I don't want to save any fabrics to my own EQ library (called User library).
I have never had the problem with saving a quilt into the sketchbook unless I had a Window error occur. I would suggest when you save a quilt, also save the project (tab file select save). You can always try to save to the sketchbook again and it will give you a message that the quilt has already been saved. Please post any other problems you have because even I have have gaps in what I know of EQ5 and we can all share with what we know.
