Ha! I think I treat quilt books like novels. I don't necessarily think I will actually make one from that book. But most I have paged through several times looking at the pretty pictures. Some were bought with the idea of making a specific quilt, but I found my attention turned elsewhere before I got to it. Sometimes, I will pick up a book and get inspired to actually make one. Maybe I will get a certain fabric and then see the pattern for it. During the past few years I am grateful I have my collection of quilt books and fabric stash.
