    Some great ideas--especially the book and the on-line Quilt Album. I have a paper copy of info on each quilt--reason for making, pattern, etc. Need to get my pictures printed and include them. I have added 2 items on each quilt--1) what I learned from that quilt(pp; FMQ; color choice, etc) and then at the bottom I have one of my children's names--so that they will know which one I wanted to have each quilt (this is on those I do for me). I settled my Mom's estate this past Spring and found that she made it so easy with finances, but I wish she'd left more direction on what to do with the family "heirlooms".

    I have taken a picture of every quilt I have made , and I wanted a way to keep them documented off my computer as well as on, and this was an amazing option. I love that I can take it and show off all my quilts without having to even turn a computer on ! I hope to get one made each year to come as well so I will be able to look back and see how much I have learned and improved !

    This is a cool idea and would make a great 'heirloom' to pass down.

    It was very easy to set up and it even let me add text to each page so I could put the quilt number ( I number all my quilts as well as name them ) the Quilt name, who received it and the date it was finished.
