Ditto for me too, but it will most likely take me 5 years :)

I want to continue to make lap quilts / dolls quilts to donate to local charities - using my scraps and sorting out my stash.

I've started a Sylvia's Bridal Sampler, which I'd like to finish next year.

Obviously I'm a glutton for punishment because all my gift requests for Christmas are tools and fabric for making a "Dear Jane"-style quilt.

I think those two will be enough for a whole year and I'll be pleasantly surprised if I finish even one of them next year!

A friend made a crazy patch quilt in pastel batik materials. That is my next project. I am also dying to make a kaleidoscope quilt, BUT STILL hunting for material with large printed pictures repeated. Difficult to buy over the internet as you do not know the original sizes. Can anyone help me with a style of material i can use?

Definitely Double Irish Chain, and want to try some scrappy sampler blocks. Have two more GC graduating in 2011, so will be making their graduation gifts.

I have a niece/Godchild getting married by the end of 2011(hasn't set a date yet) and I am bound and determined to make her and new hubby a quilt, I already decided on Happy Hearts Block, only instead of all reds I'm going to make it in their favorite colors! not sure if it might turn out to be a wallhanging though! LOL. Also want to make a red, white, and blue flannel snowball for my son. He is "making do" with a red and black wool scrap now, as he gave me the quilt his grandmother made him when he "graduated" to a regular size bed, since it is dinosaurs on the back, he has outgrown it! (he's now 14)

I haven't made a quilt for my self either.I have one in mind that I want to make,with light houses and ocean scenes. I also want to make sure all of my kids and grand kids have one from me. I just lost my mother so I'll probably be getting the quilts back I made for her. :cry: I also have a new grand daughter and am going to get another grand son around April.So lots to do.

Good luck everyone!

I want to learn to applique (sp). I also want to learn to piece more complicated blocks. I want to make some strip quilts. I want to learn to machine quilt. I am going to make me several quilts. One with white daisies in every block and one 2.5 inch strip quilt. I am now using a quilt my grandma gave me 30 years ago and it is worn out, and a whole cloth tied one that I made while in High School 33 years ago. This one is holding up well but I need some new ones. I have made several quilts over the years but they have gone with the foster kids.
