I have a huge bucket list of quilts I want to do and keep finding more!

Sometimes you can combine two quilting ideas in one quilt - then you can kid yourself that you're reducing the number of quilts that you still want to make. It doesn't really work, though, because there are always more designs out there just begging to be made!

I just finished my Eldon, not too long ago, am going to enter it in Quilt Show. Love that pattern!

I have never kept track of the number of quilts and wall hangings that I've made over the years. But I too have pleny of the "next" project in my head even while I am working on my current quilt.

I know exactly what you mean. So many ideas, so little time has never rang so true.

Wait until you are at the point you wake up in the middle of the night and start quilting in your head and can't go back to sleep because the designs won't go away. Makes me crazy. And I'm sleep deprived half the time.

I have one in my machine for FMQ today, an X's and O's ready for borders, a paper-pieced waterfall ready for borders, and three super-sized 3-ring binders full of photos and tutorials and ideas. Like Vicki, when I wake up in the night I'm thinking quilt patterns and fabric combinations and often head to my design wall to move things around. And today we've lost an hour!

I tell myself that about fabric. I have more than I will use in my lifetime, but keep looking. Wish I had a couple of thousand to spend just on fabric............

Me too. And I wish that when I am at work , and I am thinking about them in my mind--that they would actually get done.
