I'm new too and know exactly what you mean. I plan 2 for my bed. Window quilts for my bedroom windows 6 in all. A fireplace mantle runner for each season and christmas 5 in all. 2 runners for the dinningroom table. 3 runners for my reference tables. And one wallhanging for above the fireplace. And I'm leaning towards at least one lap quilt for these long winter days. And all I've done so far are sample blocks as I learn how to piece, applique and quilt.
