Do you keep a journal of your quilts? I've taken a picture of every quilt I've made, recently I've been working on a quilt journal. It consists of:
- Quilt name
- Pattern source
- Size
- Date made
- Fabric info
- Quilted by
- Comments
- Picture
I have included table runners/toppers, miniatures, even some of my UFOs are listed if they are partially sewn or waiting to be quilted. I haven't included my stitcheries that I made into wall hangings, not sure why.
According to my journal I've made 87 quilted items over the last 15 years. Wow! That seems like a lot, averages to 5+ a year. Except 14 of them were made and finished this year...21 if you count unquilted tops. Yikes!

I don't quilt but I am a knitter...and I have a note book, I have made a crosstitch with a sheep for the cover page.
I have taken photos of all of my items......still have to make a journal...might use a scrapbook to do that.
My friend made me a journal of all the quilts I've ever made her in the past 20+ years....at least two a year. It was fun to look through and see/remember....the older ones that I totally forgot about. A journal is a wonderful idea.
