Trying to finish the SB Sue Sunday-Best quilt for DGD, after which I'm going to make a Jewel Box lap robe for DH, then have to make 2 baby quilts by July. The next one will be geckos,turtles,frogs,snails,bumble bees & the like with some puppy blocks tossed into the mix either on the top or the back. The last one, I'm not so sure what I'll be doing yet. Hopefully it'll be the last baby quilt for a while.

As I find pics on the internet (mainly this wonderful board), I save pics I like to a folder titled, "Quilts To Try" and there they sit until I get around to them. The more pressing projects or ones I particularly want to start right away go on a list on a whiteboard in my sewing room. I started one before I even knew all the basics of quilting never once emptied the list since I just kept adding to it. Some of the pics in my folder are even floor designs (hardwood and tile) that I want to convert to quilt patterns.
So, my question is this; what's on your Quilting To-Do list right now? What are the quilts you want to try or challenge yourself with??

I began quilting at a fairly advanced age. When I first began, I made up an extensive list of quilts I wanted to make. My GD, then about 10 yrs. old, saw the list and asked what it was. I explained it was future quilting projects. She looked at me, then at the list, then said "Well, you better get started right away".
PS - still haven't done half the quilts on the list; others keep getting in the way!

I want to make most everything I see on here. I have so many patterns saved and/or printed that it's just ridiculous. If I lived to be 100, I wouldn't have time to finish all my "want to do's". So I just chug through my piles lazily along. But...by the way, I have finished 2 UFO's this past week. Working on the 3rd one now. I'll post pics when I get them back from the quilter. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I just saw your avatar and added one to my list! :D I've only done the log cabins in a sampler quilt I've made so I need to do a full quilt and I loved your star theme.

Right now my focus is to work through the 15+ pounds of scraps a very generous friend gave me. However, I do have other projects I need to get done that do not involve the scraps. Here is my immediate list:
--finish the first scrap quilt (blocks done)
--make a fishing-themed quilt for an auction later this year
--one friend's 50th birthday quilt (Halloween theme)
--one friend's 60th birthday quilt (I-spy)
--more charity tops and quilts
--OBW (fabric bought)
I have two UFOs I need to finish for Christmas (I have more UFOs, just none I need to finish this year). I figure that as long as I have projects, I have to live long enough to finish them, don't I?????
