I like 3D style quilts and have made or have on my bucket list these patterns:
Escher Steps - you can find it on AQS

I would also like to try applique and jelly roll quilts though the applique scares the heck outta me!
Enjoy your retirement - I only get to sew 1 hour a day on the week days
but spend the whole weekend in my sewing room
