New quilt
The quilt I'm currently working on is almost finished and already my thoughts are at the next one. The only problem is that I don't know what to make.
My patchwork of the crosses design by Lucy has given me such a great time. Any suggestions?

to me the Lucy Boston quilt wasn't challenging at all. I had a lot of fun doing it. I always have a lot of blocks in my mind which I want to make in the future. There are so many great things to make.

I go thru my pinterest boards and browse...many ideas! Before pinterest, l also have a large collection of quilt magazines. Over time, l've put bookmarks in many so l can revisit and find the one that caught my eye.

I read a good suggestion here years ago. Can’t remember who posted it. But when she wants to try a block without committing herself to a whole quilt, she makes the block in red, white and blue.
If she decides she likes making it and wants to make a whole quilt, she uses fabric in whatever colorway she has in mind. The red/white/blue block is added to her other practice blocks till she has a patriotic sampler made! Nothing wasted, and everything is coordinated instead of having a mish-mash of orphan blocks.

I usually have a couple projects going at one time. I have a shelf with future projects on it also. All my quilts are gifts to others so I asked them way in advance what their colors are, what size would they like, type of pattern, etc. By the time they get the quilt, they've totally forgotten I was making them one so its a surprise to them all over again. Trying to finish the ones I've started before I go to the shelf again. Have at least 10 that need quilted, 1 for binding, 1 on the frame now and 5 I've started already.
