Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Mine is to make a wall-hanging based on the Native American designs on 8 of the stained glass windows of the Chapel on the school campus where I work. I bought the fabric last summer and I finally dug them out and started working on the first block. I wasn't sure how to do it when I first got the idea, but have learned and seen enough that I know how I'm going to attempt the stain glass look now.
My name is Cathy - and I'm addicted to old sewing machines and their attachments.
I want to make a wall hanging of a Great White Egret, the first bird that appeared to me after my DH passed away from Alzheimer's in November. My DH had the most beautiful pure white hair and I know it was a sign to me that he would always be near.
I would like to make one of those beautiful Ohio State University quilts that I've seen on Pinterest, etc., but can't seem to find a pattern. I'm not quite brave enough to just start in on one.
I've collected the Lighthouse BOM which are laser cut pieces. I just need to sit down and try one, but I'm so intimidated. Also have all the fabric for a Jenny Doan disappearing four patch. I have a ton of precuts and many other Jenny Doan patterns I will get to someday.
I have a file on my puter in which I have been saving "free" quilt patterns for years , I would say I have around two hundred or more patterns in it all would like to do One Day , but I only 24 hours in a day quilters need at least 60 hour in a day . Cathy
Finish the Frank Lloyd quilt, the Amazon Star, the Lake Superior storm at sea, the northern lights. Those are the ones I have everything put together for. Finish quilting the mariner's compass sampler and diamond log cabin. Finish my Christmas quilt. Ask me in a year and at least two of them won't be comp,ete yet.
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

I would not worry whether the quilt you wanted to make is a fad or not. A lot of the antique quilts we look at today were fads way back when and not now, but we are still oow-ing and aww-ing over them. I have several quilts I have made over the years that I still like, and they don't fit in the "new craze" category. Make what YOU like. It is YOUR quilt. You will be the one working on it. Enjoy the journey. Enjoy the quilt. (And if you are like me, by the time you finish it, it will be in fashion again! lol)
A hand quilted bed size whole cloth quilt...
Life may not be the party we planned for,but while we are here we should dance!
Star Spin - it was the first pattern I bought when I started quilting and I have been collecting the fabrics for it since. Glad I didn't try it right away as I am working on my piecing skills as I go.
