I used to do it by writing it out but this is much easier for me!

Then if I have leftovers, I'll buy more so I'll then have enough for another quilt. And usually by then, I can get it at a really good sale price--unless I can't find it anywhere at all because the fabric's 10 years old. But then rarely do I have an intended use for what I buy--maybe a vague sort of brainstorm, but not a concrete, down on paper (or pattern in hand) sort of idea. And that's how stashes grow!
