Time, I would ask for endless hours of time. I will never live long enough to finish my bucket list of quilt projects. More time!!!! And a sewing studio that would block out the world till my project was complete!!!!

The need to clean house! and for those who don't enjoy cooking, responsibility for putting meals on the table. Then we'd have so much more time to quilt.

kudos to Jan -- nothing is as heartbreaking as an unappreciative recipient of quilts made with love and caring.

I've read several threads today and in so many of them we blast the quilt police. Wouldn't life be more pleasant without them?

I actually have two:

1. Quilt books that take up almost half of the books giving the same "basic" information found in every other book, magazine or on-line? Give me more patterns in that expensive book.

2. Quilt patterns in magazines/books that are only one size (throw or even smaller) and no conversion chart for larger quilts.
