How many quilting projects do you have in your head?

I have an actual list in a doc on my computer. It has 21 items on it, but only three of them are quilts. The rest are sewing projects, big and small. A couple dresses I want to make from patterns I bought. Adding pockets to every pair of pants and every skirt and dress I own that doesn't have them (and lengthening some that have very short pockets). Cushion cover. A written list helps me organize the projects, since I can look at the list and remember what needs to be done in preparation for the next project. I probably won't end up doing all of them (why on earth did I want to make a canvas jacket?), but I'll do most of them eventually. Meanwhile I'll continue to add items to the list and it will never be much shorter.
I keep a second list of things I might do that occasionally get promoted to the first list. It's more of a jumble of things, not really a list, most of which I'll probably never look at or do, like ideas for Halloween costumes even though I haven't been to a Halloween party in years. If I get an invitation to a Halloween party at least three months in advance, then maybe!

I've really enjoyed all the comments...can identify with most, like too many folders open in my computer...my head is too full....and busy! And no way I'll live long enough to do them all, cause I just keep adding...I did like the idea of actually making an idea folder, to maybe free up my brain....I eat, sleep, live quilts. Fun comments though, thanks
