Fabric file?
Does anyone have a great way of knowing the fabrics you have so you can take it with you when you go to shows, events, seminars..shopping..
Some sort of a FILING system?
Pasting swatches on file cards? By color? By theme?
Using a notebook?
Something that is small enough to travel with.
Is there a product out there in the world of QUILTY stuff..???
Let me know what has worked for you>
Thank you

When I was working on 2009 BOM and was using my own fabric choices, I cut small pieces of fabric and put them on a large saftey pin. I carried one with all my blue fabric and one for yellow, which were my main colors, and was able to find the rest of the fabric I needed without a problem

I don't have the time to be a perfectionist and have a portable fabric filing system. I just cut small pieces of the fabrics and pop them in a little plastic bag. And if I feel like doing things in a more organized way I tag several fabric pieces together with a basting gun.From the edge of Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood

I can't believe 70 of you read the question, but 3 answered with ideas.
I guess I am crazy.. I'm a bit retentive..
I ended up just cutting a little piece from all my fabrics and just glued them on
index cards. I also marked the swatch if I had fat quarters OR yardage.
I'll put them into a little photo album you get at Target and take it with me..
I took me about 3 hours to go thru stuff. I actually threw some pieces away.

When I'm looking for fabric for a project, I staple a small sample of the potential fabrics on a piece of paper. Usually, I use a piece of notebook paper so I can write how much fabric I have, the pattern and how much more fabric I need. I doubt that I could ever be organized enough to document every fabric I have!
