It's interesting that this topic came up, because I've been thinking about it recently. Like others, I have saved hundreds (maybe thousands) of paper patterns (purchased and from magazines) and digital patterns, also pictures of quilts that I liked. I've made many EQ versions as well. Yet when I finish one quilt I have a hard time deciding what to make next. I think the problem is that there is too much to choose from, and although it's organized somewhat by type of quilt (scrap, paper pieced, panel, etc.) it's not organized by what actually interests me most. So I've decided to start a list of the quilts I'm most interested in making. And I intend to keep that list flexible, but fairly short. When the next "shiny new thing" comes along it may get added to the list, but it may be get deleted if that shininess wears off. I plan to have a mixture of types of quilts on my list, some quick and easy, some more complicated. Some will even be re-makes of patterns I've previously made. My list is just getting started, so I'm not sure how well this will work.
