Ontheriver, I know what you mean about the patterns. I have a large bin with purchased patterns, another bin with freebies I have printed off the internet and a stack of magazines 4' high marked with stickies, and even more free patterns bookmarked on my computer. I would have to live 3 lifetimes to use even half of these patterns. I also love scrap quilts and find myself cutting into yardage to make them because I can't find the right color in my scraps!
