    Well...I'm already starting to plan the quilts for NEXT Christmas! LOL

    I have a quilt for my husband to make that will be completely my design and a LOT of appliqué. I just started one for my baby boy that is snowball blocks, haven't decided what else I'm going to do with it yet. I think I'm going to make a Bento Box quilt for ME in black, red and white. I'd like to try a OBW, but may not get to it. I'm collecting fabric for a quilt for DD. I want to do a Harley Davidson quilt for FIL and an Eagle quilt for my step dad for Christmas(mom and MIL got quilts this year). For the quilts for the Dad's, I'll probably work from panels, so they should be pretty simple.

    Otherwise, I just want to try new block ideas and learn learn learn! I'm still pretty new to quilting, so I'm trying to broaden my horizons. :)
    I'm also making a commissioned quilt early in the new year. We haven't decided on a pattern yet...leaning towards Stacking Coins, but it's for a friend's baby's new toddler bed (the baby is only 8mos! LOL). We decided to wait until after the holidays, partially so I could get my Christmas projects wrapped up, and partially because financially, my friend can't do it right now. I won't be starting until I receive the first half of the payment, to buy fabrics and such.

    I am hoping to make a Dresden Plate quilt with plates of many colors using stash. I also want to make a bookshelf quilt that is an autobiography. Then there's a black and white sampler. And...

    Wow I remember this same thread last year at this time. We were going to finish 1 ufo a month. How many actually did that? I still have my 2 even though I have worked on them on and off all year. Now I am looking at them and wondering if I can finish by Christmas, ( insert eye roll, belly laugh and smirk)
    I will tell you all that they are not my own but I inherited them from my grandmothers. I finish mine from start to finish. What I want to do this year? A quilt for my son, in circles, a harder pattern, and I do not know. We will be moving this summer so I will probably loose 3 months of sewing. Will have to piece by hand something. Oh yea a wedding ring quilt for my friend that asked for one.

    I have several paper piecing quilted wall hangings that are on my to do list for next year - and a snowball quilt for one of my sons - and a square one that I saw here on the board that I need to block out on graph paper..

    But I haven't decided what one to make for my bed.... I'm sure it will grab me when I see it. I have bought enough books to last a lifetime so something in there will spark my creativity :)

    Ditto. I figure if I get it on my list NOW, it might have a chance of being done by THEN.

    I want to make three quilts for the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. They want very small wall hangings to auction off every month to help fund alzheimer's research. This is a great thing.

    Read the rules and help out!!!!

    One out of five people have been diagnosed with AD (Alzheimer's Disease). My husband is one of them. He is only 67 and only 10% of those diagnosed with AD are this young. (I don't think that includes those with "early onset" AD. They can be diagnosed as early as 40.)

    As the baby boomers age, this is becoming an epidemic.

    Read about this project at this web site: http://www.alzquilts.org/

    Thanks from the bottom of my heart for any quilts donated for this cause.
