I love lists but recognised (only recently) that I was being ruled by them and could do with being a little more ad hoc/flexible.
However..........I am not wholly reformed: I do have a pretty little notebook that I jot down all my quilt thoughts, ranging from a book I want to check out on Amazon, patterns to add to the "would like to do" pile, fabric I want/need etc.
I am really only a beginner so no-one am still making quilts only for myself/immediate family - I live in hope that I could imagine finishing more than one quilt every two years!
