I saw one on a you tube video yesterday that was called "Waste Knot", and I have not been able to locate the pattern anywhere. It was done in oriental prints on black fabric. Wish I could find it. (Sigh)

I have a note book full of pics of "must do" maybe I'll get to them before I die

I MUST do a family picture quilt. Have all the pics transferred to fabric. Now must figure out a pattern.

Another is a space quilt. I have collected all the patches the astronauts wore on their suits from the first flight with Alan Shepherd. It has taken me two years to find the kind of fabric I wanted but just got the last one a week ago. I have a couple of projects I must finish first but my fingers are just itchin' to start that space one.

I have lived in Florida since 1954 and the space flights have always been a part of our lives.

I have about 20 on my list. Yesterday, I bought a bunch of page protectors, notebooks, index pages, etc., and decided to put all of my patterns in notebooks instead of the boxes I currently have them in. I got two notebooks thinking I would have one for quilting patterns and one for general sewing patterns.

Well guess what? I used BOTH notebooks (big ones) for my quilting patterns. Yikes! Most of them were free off the internet, so it's not like I've spent a fortune on them, but still, that's a LOT of patterns.

So . . . . yesterday I took the "No More Patterns Pledge," (I made up the name) and decided that I would not buy OR PRINT any more patterns unless the pattern is so stunningly beautiful that I plan to move it to the front of the line. In other words, no more patterns to do someday. It's today, or not at all!!

Here's link - it's not to youtube, but the pattern says "Waste Knot". It's down the page a bit.

I went to a quilt show 20 days after putting together my first quilt and saw a Hunter's Star. It has been on my 'must do' list since. Recently found what I consider to be the perfect fabrics and now, 5-1/2 years later, am finally making one. Attaching a picture of the first four blocks, finished quilt will probably have 80 blocks. Saw a tutorial on this board from a Russian lady and am using her technique. Would like to know about the 'cool ruler' you found.

Where did you find the spin star pattern?

A Memorial quilt is a great idea and I can tell you're thinking big! One of my first quilting projects was making small (7"x7") mini-quilts out of my mother-in-law's clothing. I was just starting to quilt, so it was a log cabin design. I made enough for everyone in my husband's generation and the grandkids. I hung each on a miniature hanger with the small craft clothespins. I stitched a heart somewhere on each and used a few of her old vintage buttons on each quilt. Everyone was delighted. You might think about using your leftover fabrics for something like these to share your love!

I usually have many. Then once or twice a year, I go through them all and decide that many of them have changed to "WANT TO DO"

Could not list them all but, I want to do a twisty bargello, a star spin, cathedral windows, dreamer weaver? or something like that. I have bought and down loaded many many patterns that are on my "bucket list". But my family and extended family are continually-getting married, having babies, etc. and life just gets in the way....guess I'll have to start making my bucket list quilts and give them away.

My list is really long but whenever I think about the one I'll make for "me", I think of a Garden Twist with Snowballs. I saw one in a Quilt Shop once. I have never found the pattern for it but someday......

AMEN! Me too. I thought I had a quilting disease. :-)

I have the following must-do's on my list: Dear Jane, Bargello, Wedding Ring, Storm at Sea and Baltimore Album (which I am doing now).

Not enough "have" to do. So I guess the next one I just " to do is the next one,

i must of missed that where did u find it at

There is so many pretty patterns here and there, but I really want to make a Bow Tuck if that counts

Well now that I've seen it...it's calling my name as well! Geesh! I too will need to live to be 132 to finish all of my 'must do' quilts!
Blessings,
MaryAnna

Mine would have to be a Sunbonnet Sue and Log Cabin quilt. There are about a dozen or so more just begging to be started.

I have so many patterns that I want to do and I keep looking for more. Since moving in with my son and his family I have had to stop buying fabrics as I have nowhere to put anymore but patterns take up so little space. When I see one that is different I have to have it and then it becomes one of my "One Day I'll make this" patterns. I like different patterns and that is how I started making bargellos. They really aren't as difficult as they appear. Now I am getting into applique and paper piecing. I have decided that I will have to live to 100 plus years to have any chance at making most of them and that is only if I quit buying more patterns.

I found 2 Jenny Beyer patterns I just love. I already have more than I could possibly do in ten life times but I think I would enjoy the challenge of these two quilts. Of course, I can't start until I finish the king size one I'm working on, the one in my head for my grandson, the baby quilt top I've done for a shower, the one ........and some of the table runners, place mats, etc I already have in my ufo drawer.

I have a Take 5 on my next to do list. I am also going to do a Buzz Saw quilt for my husband by this Christmas, I promise, I swear....or at least a pillow.

I have a sort of long list but I want to do the hunters star next.

quiltluvr, is "watercolors" a design for a quilt or block? Sounds lovely, 80

Kitsie, I'm just going along, too, making a block/blocks of those I like. Are those you're making the same size? I hope we get to see a pix someday! Thanks, 80

ccthomas, thats funny :thumbup: I think we all have that disease and we haven't even been in each other's company :P

Hi quilters, who by the way are wonderfull people
On the subject of "must do' I started a "Slanted Star"
also, called Shooting Star or Indian Star
It is very easy and Maybe one of my best
Sandy from near Chicago

I'd like to work up enough nerve to make Storm at Sea.Have fabric for a One Block Wonder.....& here I sit!

My #1 must do is the Focus Pocus, which mine will be called the Hocus Focus, because I keep twisting that name around. LOL. I love that pattern.
My other must do's are because of the people they are for, not so much for the pattern, but I do love the patterns too, and since I'm a beginner, they are good for me. First is the D9P, then the Rail Fence.

Why, Oh why do I have this sickness? I was doing okay working on the two oldest grandkids quilt tops, until yesterday. Then I found this one......http://patsloan.typepad.com/.a/6a00d...774107e970b-pi
I need therapy.

Just "ALL" of the quilts in the PICTURE section here.... What a LAOT of talent on this board. Alot of which comes from the NEWBIES ! Sew many quilts.. Sew little time........ :lol:

Opps! LOT

I want to turn Mondrian's painting Broadway Boogie Woogie into a quilt.

Just getting through all of the basic old traditional blocks will be a challenge to get done before I kick the bucket.

I have a list a mile long of " must do's " Don't think I would have the time to list them all! LOL I do love that spinning star. It is a beautiful block.

My list has gotten pretty long too. But, I surely must find the time for my tennessee waltz, a burgoine surrounded and a crossed canoes. I also love the hunter's star in a blue and white theme, but it comes in fourth on the list.
Then there is a log cabin that keeps calling me. I haven't made one of those in a very long time.
