LOL, just a hundred? What's holding you back?

Way too many wonderful picutues on this board.

I was guestimating...wasn't going to actually count :lol: I also have a 4" binder FILLED with patterns. I rather like the idea of putting all the names of the quilts in a jar and just pick my next project that way. How long will it take me to write down the names of them all to put in the jar? :?

I have the same problem. I see blocks I haven't tried before and just started 3 different pinwheel tops (3 different size pinwheels) just cause I loved the fabric and forgot where I left off. I'm overwhelmed with ideas too and people I want to make a quilt for. No time to do any of it. I keep thinking I need to focus on one until it is finished, but I love learning new techniques and new blocks. What is a girl to do?!

Yes...yes...yes... I do the same thing and my GD decided my computer was running too slow and proceeded to move all my quilting to CDs... aarrrrggggghhhh... now I can't find a thing!!!

yeah then you will not only have all the time you want but money to buy all the material you want too. That's what we all need to do. :!: :)

They are just UFO's -- in your mind.

Oh, you mean like the tile floor or the window in the community center? or the pattern the silhouette of a tree makes across the snow or the huge picture of a giraffe and how perfectly the shapes of the spots appear...... on and on and on?

I think I figured out the answer for what next! Last night I was dreaming about a way to do a scrappy quilt.

DRAT------------HIT SEND TOO FAST

It will be called BUTTONS & BOWS, 8 blocks wide by 10 blocks long, and sent to a female soldier at Walter Reed. It's a folded block I learned to make on a Nancy Zieman show. I'm going to set the blocks together with a black or very dark gray tone on tone.

A little bit at a time------------since it is going to be a scrappy quilt. I expect to be done this time next year

You should see my three-ring binder of blocks and projects I want to try...some day! :lol:
