I keep a journal where I jot down ideas. So far, my ideas far exceed my skill level so to be honest, I haven't even attempted to make the quilts I have in my journal. I need to learn about three or four more construction techniques before I can even attempt to pull one off. I can imagine they will never fully look exactly like what is in my mind, but I think I'd be happy if I got even close. Then again, having not done it yet, it is hard to say!!!
