I do have a list written down. So far, 3 pages in a notebook. I do look at it frequently. Sometime it serves to remind me to finish a project that I have forgotten about. Not everything that I see or like goes on this list or the notebook would take up all of the room in my small sewing room.

When I buy fabric, I place all of the fabric along with the pattern in a zippered case (from Mattress pads or sheets, etc.) That way i am not tempted to grab the fabric for another project. Then the cases are piled into several laundry baskets (sitting on sewing room floor). Unfortunately, there is only a small path through the sewing room at times.
Hoping to get most of these projects completed to hand down to family.

Yes, I have a bucket list Printed out and put in a binder. Apart from a handful of particular projects I am doing (historical costumes and an Outlander wall hanging), or what I want to do (Baltimore), my bucket list comprises more of the block patterns I would like to try.

I have several large binders that hold patterns I would like to make for my bucket list. I go through those binders at least once a year and end up throwing a lot away but still have lots. I also have a binder for quilts made, in case I want to make a second one and just to browse at all the ones I have finished! So rewarding some days!

I don't have any real bucket list. I tend to throw away or misplace those kinds of lists. W

See! This is how I get into trouble! I am tempted to add Marcia's top to my computer bucket. I also have an excel sheet for quilts I've started in various stages of completeness. Whenthe quilt is finished excel will calculate the % finished of those listed. I went back to old, old ufo's when I first started this list. Sad to say most of the old are still ufo's and my percentage is very low. I check this list often to keep me motivated to do more steps to finish and less adding new projects to the list(which makes the % go down:(. I wish I had a calculator on there for tops complete; that percentage would be pretty good. I also have a 1" binder with just patterns I want to make. I refuse to add another binder and this one only has room for maybe 1 or 2 more before I will stop adding. Like someone said, I will never make all the quilts I want to make, nor use all the fabric, in my lifetime. And we won't talk about the wall of tops waiting to be quilted. And waiting, and waiting, waiting.......:D

I wrote a bucket list several years ago. It is no longer my bucket list. What I have on my bucket list is constantly changing. What was on my list a few years ago no longer interests me. My list is endless.

Thanks, gang. Think I will forego the actual list and just continue as I do now since I am a slow progress quilter. Now I just start a top, then do another top (I like piecing the best) or two. Then decide I have to quilt them before I can do any more. This process may take a couple of months - but that is okay. I had been keeping a list, but that was sort of like the K&W cafeteria problem for me - the more food I see, the more overwhelmed I get and the harder to choose.

this is me.. and it keeps growing!!! ha ha ha

I have a lot of projects, some unfinished and others with the materials and pattern gathered together. So many, in fact, that it has been overwhelming. A friend suggested that I write the name of each project on a piece of paper and put them in a jar. When I finish one project, I draw out a paper for the next one. It has been amazing how that has helped me get started on doing these.

Of course, every once in awhile a "new" project sneaks in because I just can't resist it. But once it is completed, I go back to my jar.

I started a bucket list, a real, on paper, bucket list, then it dawned on me that I can go get the pattern when I was ready, online and would never live long enough to do them all, so I just gave up. Now I just look for the next one to do.
