Yes I do. The instructor from my first quilting class suggested it. I keep scraps of each fabric, a collage picture of the finished quilt, and details of when I made it, who I made it for, the name of the quilt pattern, etc. These go into clear page protectors in a binder.

I bought those Vintage Wood photo albums with the black paper pages...and I put a photo and annotate, date made, name of quilt and who I gave it too or what Organization I donated it too.

I faithfully did so until about 50 quilts ago. Ran out of room, interest, camera that wasn't digital, space to 'show' them, and albums that were packed away from moving. Sigh.

I use Microsoft Office One Note to keep a digital journal for my quilts.

No. Never heard of it until recently, and although I could go back and list them, I don't really see the point. And as Jan said, I don't have any interest. Maybe if the quilt were going away somewhere and I wanted to remember it, but not as a general rule.

Yes, I do keep a log. I put the name of the quilt, the date I finished it, and a note about the quilt...either who I gave it to and the occasion or I note what lesson I learned making it.

I keep pictures in a photo album. I wish I would have more accurate notes with dates, sizes, frustrations, new things, and other information about the making of the quilt.
Maybe someday....
