If I make a resolution, are you all going to help me keep it? LOL!

I have an enormous amount of fabric that I want to cut into strips for scrappy log cabins, so this year I need to make at least one to be sure that is how I want to use it. This will also be my first log cabin.

I need to learn to paper piece. I get the idea, but have yet to do it, and I just love the Mariner's compass block, so I want to make a quilt in patriotic colors.

I make many quilts for military, deployed, and injured soldiers, so I need to focus on just purchasing red/white/blue fabrics, and try my best to avoid those yummy oriental fabrics of which I now probably own over 300 yards worth!

I have had the perfect fabric to make my SIL a king quilt for three years. I really need to decide on a design and get that quilt started!

My first grandchild is on the way and I am in the process of making two quilts, so I have the right colors when we find out the child's gender. This quilt will get priority!

I have a very dear friend who has been by my side in working military charities and he has stated that he really wants to win one of my quilts. He should have one, and I should make it, but I don't know how to sew in my sleep, but I'm working on it!

I am NOT buying any fabric this year that is not going directly in a quilt that is a WIP and that is always a patriotic quilt. I have way too much and don't want to be the one to die with the biggest stash! LOL! Besides, I need lots of batting and can save for the sales on Warm and Natural.

My intended purchase this year is to get Kaye Wood's Starmaker set of rulers. I love her quilts.
