Do you guys ever think of the perfect idea for a quilt while laying in bed about to fall asleep?

A friend of mine just found out that her baby will be a boy, and her hubby is all into old tractors. While i was laying in bed last night I envisioned a white quilt with light gray tractors alternation a light green and blue wheels and steering wheel on each block. Sounds crazy, but the perfect pattern came to me.

Now I just need to find the fabric in my dreams or I will be dissappointed.

The best ideas come to me too as I am drifting off to sleep :D:D:D
I hope you are sucessful in finding the perfect fabric!!!

yes, that will be a cool tractor quilt,

when I am drifting off to sleep I think of cool ideas, sometimes I hurry and write them down so I don't forget and also I have dreams about quilting

I do that. I normally keep a notebook close at hand at night just for that! :)

Yes, I do the same thing & have a spiral bound notebook on my nightstand just in case! Good luck in finding that perfect fabric!!

On nights when I've stayed out late with my quilting buddies, or quilted all night, I'll sometimes have quilting dreams all night. Those are the BEST! I hate to wake up!

I think that's when I do my best designing! All is quiet, nothing competing for my attention. The problem is that I don't sleep, if I am designing! Many nights I am awake until 2am, because I can't turn my ideas off.

When I have trouble falling asleep (busy day at work, stressed out, etc), I find that if I let my mind drift about quilting helps me fall asleep. I have planned several quilts this way. Now, if I could just not have to work, then I could stay up all nite and actually make these quilts!

Oh yes! Best ideas when drifting off to sleep! Love your dread about the tractor, can't wait to see it!

Oooooooooops love your DREAM about the tractor...sorry got excited too ;-)
