I would dearly love to have the patience to finish one of these three patterns, I just can't get "into" them like I can with other patterns. For as long as I remember I have always loved Cathedral Windows, DWR and Storm at Sea. I can't do mystery quilts either, I want to get a view of the finished design before I select materials.

I think it would be 2 quilts. The Baltimore Album but I don't do applique. The other is the Dear Jane. I'm 67 and don't want any long, drawn out projects that take years to complete. I'm trying to get all my UFO's finished so that when I do go, there will be nothing undone.

I want to one day do a Storm at Sea. I'd also like to applique a Mariners Compass on it or piece it and work it into pattern. I'm not exactly intimidated. But, I really don't have the fabrics or pattern yet. I'm am looking for the paperpiece pattern for it. It is one of my top must do someday pics. (I want to do it in the traditional blues and white!)

Oooh great question Jeanne. I bet you with zip right through that paper piecing - good luck, hope you are feeling better.
I just bought a book by Yoshiko Jinzenji because of the gorgeous rich red pieced quilt I saw in the Amazon 'sneak preview'. Now I've got the book in hand I learned that the 'gorgeous quilt' is really a lot of 12" miniquilt mandalas made with antique fabrics and silks and all hand pieced, then just placed next to each other like a quilt - for the photo shoot. She gives you all the patterns for the mandalas, about an inch high, and you need to create your own templates, figure out if they can be paper pieced somehow, what doesn't have to be hand quilted...(at 65 I am not interested in a long project)
Well,if I'm going to do it, I better get started and see if I can do at least one mandala.
This is the link to peek at the book in Amazon - it's lovely

What is and where would I find the pattern Snake River Log Cabin? My sister saw one at the Puyallup fair in WA state and mentioned that IF I wanted to make her a quilt that would be the one. I haven't goggled it yet. Your post reminded me of her comment.

Maybe we should do it as a group? I have fabrics already in a tote! Judy Martin is one of my FAV designers. I am planning a Virginia Star Sampler. Its the same setting as SITP, but each star is diff.
My dream is a Triple Feathered Star...dream on! lolol
