Does anyone else do this?
 

When looking at pictures of quilts do you think to yourself: "I have that fabric and that one..."? I am guilty of this. LOL

Yes, it's fun playing "I Spy" with fabrics. I sometime think, wish I still had that.

Ummm, Yesss. I say that softly. I am trying hard not to buy fabric. recently found some lovely cat prints i got. Must make something with those soon.

When I see a picture of a quilt that I like, in my mind's eye, I try to break down a single block of it to see if I can make it without a pattern.

I tend to download any quilt that catches my eyes and put it into a future quilt folder. Then when I'm looking for a new pattern to try out, I go to that folder and cruise thru all my photos I've downloaded. If I have decded on a pattern, I'll make a separate folder for it and add photos that others have made of it so I can see color combos, arrangement of blocks to help me decide how to make mine.

If the photo no longer catches my eye, it gets deleted.

Lol really!

Yes. Far too often.

Always! I went to the San Jose Quilt Musem, and I saw a quilt by Michael James which was pretty famous, and I noticed that he used a lot of fabric that I had in my stash. And I thought to myself why couldn't I have ever made anything so amazing!

All the time ! :D
