A Tennessee Waltz that I want to do for my grandson and the young woman he is going to marry (someday soon I hope!) I've bought one piece of the fabric and trying decide which direction to go with the rest. I go to sleep at nights thinking about how it will look. Does anyone else do that?

I have a list, a lap quilt, not exactly sure how I want to design it yet. It's for my SIL. A log cabin for my sister, An Irish chain for my other sister. I also have fabric to make a quilt for spare bedroom. Down the road I have a quilt planned for my SIL....and then....the list goes on

A puzzle quilt for a friend; a quilt made from shirts of someone's DH who passed away; a bargello for me; something for next year's quilt show; a tied quilt for DIL (she loves the "fuzzies"); a Bella Bella medallion for me; plus lots of quilts in my "someday" folder.

As I find pics on the internet (mainly this wonderful board), I save pics I like to a folder titled, "Quilts To Try" and there they sit until I get around to them. The more pressing projects or ones I particularly want to start right away go on a list on a whiteboard in my sewing room. I started one before I even knew all the basics of quilting never once emptied the list since I just kept adding to it. Some of the pics in my folder are even floor designs (hardwood and tile) that I want to convert to quilt patterns.
So, my question is this; what's on your Quilting To-Do list right now? What are the quilts you want to try or challenge yourself with??

I just finished up 11 burp rags--------flannel thingies that got a bit of decorative stitching on the edges. I 'm going to tell my DD that they are custom designed and custom sewn, so they look more impressive than the $15 or so dollars I spent on them.
Got a bunch more baby sewing------list too long.
ONe thing I do want to get started is a WARM WISHES using some patriotic fabric. I fianlly got some light gold dots to go with the white on red stars and white on blues stars/
Got to put the borders on the quilt for our church quilt raffle, then contact a gal to macihine quilt it for me. WHICH IS WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING NOW>
I'm not even going to talk about what's left. I do need to drag out a small kidsquilt top that I need to finish up for a family who lost everything in a fire. Should go fairly quickly if I can remember which bin it's in.
