    Default Should have written it down

    I have a fat quarter bundle that I bought just because I HAD TO HAVE IT. No pattern in mind, but I've had several that I thought might work. The other day I saw the perfect pattern. Now I can't remember what it was or where I saw it. I need to start making notes.

    I keep a little notebook with my iPad so if something catches my eye, I can write down the address. If it's a picture I found a screen shot. Nothing more frustrating then an idea floating in your head you can't quite grasp!

    Okay, lets make a list of where you have been in the past few days. This website? Fabric website(s)? New catalog came in the mail? Quilt shop? Library? Bookstore? Browsing your own bookshelf? or a friend's?
    Hope you find that pattern again, or another you like as well.

    All of the above. That's the problem.

    Hey! I found it! Thanks for the reminder about Pinterest. I can always count on my forum friends to steer me in the right direction.

    If you have a smart phone you might consider using your voice memo, quick & easy for short reminders

    I use the snipping tool to get pics of things I like, problem is I forget where I snip them from!

    Can you describe it to us, or maybe draw a quick picture?

    Funny thing is, I couldn't even remember what it looked like. But I knew I'd recognize it when I saw it.
