onebyone...how does one save things to Pinterest? If you do, can you print from there if want to? Dd set up an account(?) there for me....don't use it
, obviously, but when you mentioned what you do, this might work better that printing out or cluttering up computer with "saves" in folders

Guilty as well. I save them on my computer, save them in Pinterest, and print out ones that I think I'll make. I know there's no way that I'll be able to make them all, but I can still look at them all. :-)

There must be a name for this obsession, LOL.[/QUOTE]
How about "obsessive pattern collector" OPC
I save my to a flash drive...had to get a new one last year that has more storage! and I'm still collecting for that "someday"! Oh well, at least they don't cost me anything!

Yes, I have it too, and not just quilting patterns. I find myself looking through and often buying old sewing patterns too. You just can't find patterns like some of those old ones anymore (for some of them that's a good thing, lol). So, I have boxes full of sewing patterns, notebooks full of quilting related stuff, computer storage space full of quilting related stuff, and shelves of cookbooks and recipe binders. I do try to purge stuff every once in a while but sometimes that is so hard.

I download any pattern that I think I like -- I find myself using ideas from them even if I don't make the pattern. They are my inspiration. One thing that interests me is how many patterns have the same blocks just in slightly different layouts or take say a block like the rail fence and make them different widths. I store them by the dominant block type so I can check out the different layouts.
