I too buy too many patterns. I especially have a problem resisting the patterns for smaller projects. I always think that I'll be able to get to them since they are small projects but,no, still doesn't happen.

I think I have a fascination with patterns. I see it and think of a certain material that would work and I can't help myself...so I buy it. Or its the unique design, but I like a lot of the applique quilts or the quilt that is a scene that is blended with colors to make the picture. Almost all my material is grouped with a pattern......doesn't that rationalize my buying them...Ha Ha

I have way too many patterns too. I do try to use them when I can. I go through them every so often and pull out ones that I'm no longer interested in using. I usually give those to my Guild to add to opportunity baskets at one of our meetings. I think I have gotten some from those basket too.

I don't buy many patterns anymore but I print alot off the internet. I used to buy books & magazines constantly so I have alot of them.I have a 4 drawer file cabinet & 1 1/2 drawers are nothing but quilt patterns. When I want to make something I have a pattern. Also I have Quilt Wizard & EQ6 that I design some on.

I don't have very many patterns but I have been collecting quilting BOOKS (which can be just as addictive). To indulge this passion, I usually purchase quilt books at Goodwill and Half Price Books. But I succumbed to pattern purchases recently while visiting in Montana. I found the most fabulous applique quilt patterns by McKenna Ryan. I bought 9 patterns (2 series that I plan to put together to make 2 Queen size quilts). Go on line & see them & you'll fall in love!
BTW, Sadie Mae, what is the name of the quilt that is shown when you log in? It's pretty amazing! Did you make it?

Been there, doing that. Actually, I rarely buy a pattern but I download and print off a bunch. Thus far I have 2 3 ring notebooks full of these and more ink purchased and enough paper used to cut down a couple of trees!
