Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My only item on the list used to be to make ONE quilt that wasn't hideous because I wasn't really good at it or much of a sewer in the first place.
I have a few now that are halfway decent so my new goal is to make one for all my loved ones before I croak outta here. : )

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
I like that idea Nan. I try keeping them in my head or on many different notepads.Originally Posted by QuiltnNan
Top of my bucket list is a Mariner's Compass. I keep looking for designs I like other than just a center medallion. Don't think I could manage designing my own and have what I have in my mind's eye translate to paper or fabric and have it decent looking. I keep working at it though.
Have you looked at Judy Mathieson. She does Mariner's Compass and her is a link to her website: http://www.judymathieson.com/Judy_Ma...n/Welcome.html. She does neat things with them.
I have a square piece of thick upholstery fabric cream with imprinted relief roses and leaves and I want to make a sort of hybrid quilt/bedspread no batting in between as the upholstery fabric is very thick and weighs a lot. Still thinking how to go about making this.
I use this fabric to make totes out of.
Freedom to speak is a gift ;please don't take it from us..
UFO's and kits I've put together are a gimmie....
My Main goal is to become a proficient quilter- i just got a Sweet Sixteen, so I have a long way to getting there!!
As far as quilts, a Wholecloth quilt with linens as in the type Cindy Nedham does!
Nerys, I have done this very battingless quilt before (lived in Arizona at the time). You will LOVE it when it's done. I worked at a fabric store at the time (I had to do sewing classes, this is one I did), so I would get upholstery fabric (end of bolt, remnants what ever was in the colors I wanted - Black, Gold and Green). It gets heavy to work with, but it looked wonderful on the end of the bed over a green bedspread. Make your seams wider 1/2", upholstery fabric likes to unravel. Good luck and have fun
I too, have some upholstery fabric and 2 different colors of corderoy I want to make a quilt with. I am studying several patterns for this, but not finding the right one yet. This one is for myself...
