Gosh you are organized. I usually just focus on one project (for buying) and have little pieces in a plastic envelope and when I come back I empty it and put it in my fabic area to reuse over and over. I do like your idea a lot.

Might be interesting to see how long it took when you look in your book in years to come.
I added a tiny drawing of the block made; grandmother's fan on the bottom page and pinwheel on the top page. I also take photos of each quilt when finished and keep an album of all the quilts that I have made over the years.
