I have started 2 different ones and never got pat a few months. I would gift the quilt before taking a picture, so it really meant nothing to me. But I design most of my quilts - nothing special just drawing out what I want and counting the blocks, figuring out how wide the sashing would be, placing the embroidery blocks. When I was finished I didn't want to throw it out so I started putting the notes into a composition note book. (I don't like to use binders since the pages seem to tear unless I put them into the plastic sheets.) And spiral note books just catch on to anything and everything. So a little glue and tape in the composition book works for me. Some day I plan to make a cover for it. (The instructions are just waiting to be put to use.)
