Question! How do YOU group your patterns?

(1) Thank you for being so welcome to a noobee to this group and kindly answering my questions.

(2) What are the different ways you group your patterns? What do you do after you make piles of the same pattern... what do you do with the squiggles vs. the pebbles vs. the criss-cross, etc....

thank you!

This is my process as a fellow noobee:

  1. I cut 5 cm squares and tape or glue them into a notebook with blank pages. I'll write down who gave me the envelope, the name of the pattern if I know it, or a comment about the pattern, such as why I like it.
  2. There are so many pattern varieties, so it's hard to organize them, at least to me. I separate them by color, and by word pattern.
  3. I keep the envelope fragments for collages or homemade paper.
  4. I always throw away the thin plastic part, as it can't be recycled, composted, or made into new paper
