How many of you keep track of your quilts?
#61
I took pictures of all my quilts when I was getting ready to move here to AL just for insurance purposes. I was really surprised at just how many there were! Each one was stored in a cotton pillowcase and tucked away in closets. Now I have the majority of them in two bookcases in the living room. At the moment I am making labels for each of them...something I neglected to do for my earlier quilts. Plus, all the quilts that my aunt made before she passed away. I have to finish this while I can still remember when and where :lol:

I had gotten a quilt journal and started using it right away. I take pictures of all the quilts I have made and most of the time I take pictures as I progress. I have a quilt file on my computer and will make notes about special quilts. I love to go back and look at them. I also have the file on a USB flash and keep it up to date, just in case something happens to my lap top.

I have missed a couple quilts that I sold, but have entered all the others. It is interesting to go back through. Some of them I had forgotten.
Me too.
I also make a string pieced block using the fabrics from each quilt. I embroider the name of the quilt on it. Eventually I'll put all the blocks together and have a quilt for me with most of my projects in it.
