Time, I would ask for endless hours of time. I will never live long enough to finish my bucket list of quilt projects. More time!!!! And a sewing studio that would block out the world till my project was complete!!!!

The need to clean house! and for those who don't enjoy cooking, responsibility for putting meals on the table. Then we'd have so much more time to quilt.

kudos to Jan -- nothing is as heartbreaking as an unappreciative recipient of quilts made with love and caring.

12.5 blocks that are NOT 12.5 blocks......oh, wait...that would be my problem, not the quilting worlds! But still...just sayin'

This is probalby one of my biggest issues.... I can't tell you how many times I have had to "un-sew" because I didn't read properly.... missed put "wrong sides together" .... that was one of my biggest because for some reason my brain kept reading right sides together.. lol!!

I've read several threads today and in so many of them we blast the quilt police. Wouldn't life be more pleasant without them?

I actually have two:

1. Quilt books that take up almost half of the books giving the same "basic" information found in every other book, magazine or on-line? Give me more patterns in that expensive book.

2. Quilt patterns in magazines/books that are only one size (throw or even smaller) and no conversion chart for larger quilts.

If you get 34" you are doing good. I have ended up with 30" or less way too many times.
