Quilt you have always wanted to make
 

I am cutting back a bit on making small quilts. I got rid of about 6 baby quilts and 1 full size quilt today. I need to clean house so to speak, and I only want to make that one dream quilt. What pattern would you all make if this was your last quilt?

Tough question. Mine would be a Double Wedding Ring. If I still had time, I would make a Storm at Sea!

Just the same for me. Double wedding ring for sure!

I have to make a New York Beauty someday!

Two fabric bargello. I have the fabric, but it never makes it into the line.

I've always loved the Storm at Sea. I am drawn to the illusion of curves. And as much as I have admired log cabins, I have never made one. That's probably something I should accomplish sometime soon.

I love the Baltimore Album quilts - the variety is vast, and all those tiny little applique pieces stop me from attempting it now. Or maybe a one inch Grandmother's Flower Garden. I love those little hexigons.

New York Beauty for me, something with paper piecing and curves, both challenges for me. I made a Storm at Sea and it was a very intense experience. Never again!

Another vote for NYB. I might try this year, probably a wall hanging size.

Two other patterns I have always wanted to make, more for sentimental reason than difficulty are SAS and Lemoyne Star. Both are about half complete. The SAS was the first quilt I attempted as a teen 35 years ago (ended up in the waste bin). The Lemoyne is to replicate a wedding gift my parents received, the only quilt we had in the house growing up and very well loved. I hope to finish both by the end of the year.

Double Wedding Ring for me too...I am just too chicken to start one.

Mine would also be the Double Wedding Ring.

Millefiore quilt; NY Beauty; Baltimore Album - these are my top three to eventually make

I was just thinking if it were my last quilt and I had about 2 years I would make a Baltimore Album all by hand including the quilting. I have made so many of the quilts I see listed here already. I think I would also like to repeat a number of them again. It has been many years since I made a number of them.

A red and white Drunkard's Path. It's not a hard pattern. It's just that I get easily distracted by other, "shiny, sparkly things," s/a other quilt patterns and colorful fabrics. So many quilts to sew, so little time.

Christmas Pickle or a New York Beauty.

Storm at Sea. I bought an English paper piecing kit to make it, but some of those pieces are teeny tiny and I got a headache just looking at them. Decided that I'll use Deb Tucker's rulers to make it instead, but who knows when I'll get around to it.

So many quilts mentioned here that I, too, would love to make but the one that popped into
mind was Burgoyne's Surrounded...in a variety of blues....haven't thought of it in ages ! Have
always loved its simplicity.
But
I don't really want or need to make any large ones...I've made them for everyone in the family
and I know that my daughter's don't want anymore...I'm trying to cull my books and fabric...
kind of hard to let go when you see patterns and books that you bought and now realize there is
no need. I know a lot fall in this category !

I think that many of us are saying the same thing! If I have time !....I keep thinking "Time is short".

I used to have Mary Ellen Hopkins book on making that ...and I do believe I
have Shar Jorgenson's ( Quilting in the Heartland ) pink templates for it...
Hate to think of the templates I've bought and know I'll never use...and can't
part with them either. I regret buying some that there are better templates
now..Oh well !

A basket quilt. I've always wanted to make one and never have. Perhaps I would fill the baskets with applique flowers.

New York Beauty if I could find instructions that didn't include paper piecing. Quilters used to make beautiful quilts before there was paper piecing so I'm sure there's a pattern somewhere. Paper piecing and I are not friends, altho I enjoy EPP.

I would have said Storm at Sea, but I'm currently working on a small heart wall hanging with that pattern, so I'm not really sure what else. I'm doing it with paper piecing and it seems very easy! The hard part is getting the color placement just right which just takes careful planning.

If you're picking the quilt you would want to make (your dream quilt) if you could only make one more, why wait? Do it now!

Baltimore album with hand dyes. I love the color intensity of the fabrics, just not the price.

Log cabin quilt for my bed...maybe in greens and blues.

Ha, The quilt I have always want to make the most is the one I am currently working on.....until I get about half way through....then my brain is thinking about the "quilt I have always wanted to make" Tee Hee....is that why I have so many UFO's

Aunt Grace's quilt.

Ricky Tims "Dad's Lone Star." That is my favorite quilt of any I have ever seen. He came out with a kit and a written pattern for it. He also promised a video tutorial. I bought the kit, but he never did the tutorial. I'm not good a reading patterns so it has stayed in a box for years.

Cathedral Windows

I know this is crazy but I would like to make a log cabin quilt. This pattern looks easy and would love to make one sometime in my lifetime. I made a Double Wedding Ring quilt for my daughter some years ago and would love to make another one in the future.
