Me too! I started a list on a spreadsheet a few months back. That way I can actually keep track, but my list isn't complete. On the list I have the size, who it's to be made for, and things I need to buy, that way I have it all at a glance. Then I have a tab for each project and list the pattern, a link to it online, the fabrics I have that I'm planning for it, and anything I need to purchase. I have about 20 projects on the list, but many more books with patterns I'd like to do.

The one that is at the top of my list is the Ohmygosh quilt pattern I have the fabrics, stonehinge and the background. Now just need the kick in the bucket to get going.

Don't you mean "What's not on my bucket list?" I did remove the "Ozark Star" after desperately using it as a "last minute" challenge project in December.

Like many others who have posted, I have yet to finish a few UFO's that are on my 2015 list of goals (four to be exact) However, I have purchased/saved a couple of patterns which I am anxious to tackle. One is called Line of Fibs.

My bucket list is soooooo long, I would need a team of quilters to complete it.

I use this fabric to make totes out of.

UFO's and kits I've put together are a gimmie....
My Main goal is to become a proficient quilter- i just got a Sweet Sixteen, so I have a long way to getting there!!
As far as quilts, a Wholecloth quilt with linens as in the type Cindy Nedham does!

There are so many in magazines that I would like to do, but one day I will challenge myself to do a Storm At Sea. I normally do fairly easy or quick quilts simply because I dislike UFOs. When I start a quilt I see it through to completion. So I try to do quilts that can be done in a week or 2. Storm At Sea will take me longer.

What's on my bucket list? Much more than I have years left to live. Last count I had over 150 UFO's, but I would say my top priority is to use up my stash and all my scraps that seem to multiply as well as my UFO's. Don't think I have a long enough lifetime unless I am granted two or three more. And then there is all of those "Oh I would like to make one of those" ideas as well. Tooooooo much and not enough time.

Nerys, I have done this very battingless quilt before (lived in Arizona at the time). You will LOVE it when it's done. I worked at a fabric store at the time (I had to do sewing classes, this is one I did), so I would get upholstery fabric (end of bolt, remnants what ever was in the colors I wanted - Black, Gold and Green). It gets heavy to work with, but it looked wonderful on the end of the bed over a green bedspread. Make your seams wider 1/2", upholstery fabric likes to unravel. Good luck and have fun
