It happens!!! My bucket list is soooo long that I am realistic and know I will never get them all done. What I have done is come to a compromise. There are many different blocks and techniques that I want to do at least once. The last 2 baby quilts I have done, I have incorporated more than one thing from my bucket list. For example, I've always wanted to do:
1. Make a black and white quilt
2. Use the Yellow Brick Road pattern
3. Do crosshatching quilting
4. Use only fabrics from my stash
Well, one of the girls at work was due any day. I don't know her very well as I am new at the clinic. I asked the other girls and I was told that the colors she had chosen for her baby was black and white. I pulled out my Yellow Brick Road pattern and then dug into my stash. I was able to put the quilt together in one weekend and I did cross hatching quilting on it.
BAM! Now I can check 4 things off my bucket list! (except I will keep trying to use more fabrics from my stash!)
