If you could make any quilt, regardless of how advanced it is...

I'm not familiar with some of the quilts that have been named so I have been looking them up as I read this thread. Just wanted to let you Judy Martin enthusiasts know that she is having a close-out on some of her books at www.judymartin.com.
As far as which quilt, I want to make them all. Just recently I started a partial applique Christmas quilt, www.jingle.com. Still not very skilled but someday would like to make one of Deborah Kemball's designs.

I know the feeling! I'm buying the last of my fabrics Monday for my Bali Wedding Star quilt, 92x104. It will be the most time consuming project I've undertaken in the almost 2 years I've been making quilts. I initially gave myself 3-4 months to do it - then talked to someone who had done it and she spent appx 250 hours on the top. So I went back and did my math - after work and on weekends I can squeeze in 20 hours a week - 80 hours a month, yep 3-4 months seems reasonable provided i don't completely burn out. I typically don't do but one project at a time. I think i may end up extending my time frame a few months and planning some 'easier' projects during all of the BWS undertaking. I'm a little apprehensive every time I look at the fabric, the quantity of PP patterns, the cost involved with this one, but when I see the pic on the pattern, i know it's all going to be worth it.

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 would love to do Glacier Star. I took a class with Judy Neimeyer on her Bali Wedding Star and it is sitting in my WIP pile. I am signed up to take a class with her in Nov to make the Christmas Celebration Tree Skirt. I love her stuff, but I let myself get sidetracked.

My thoughts exactly. I am, however, seriously contemplating a Farmer's Wife as a hand piecing project.

I have the pattern Amazon Star by Judy Neimeyer. I have all of the fabric labeled and ready to go. I take the pattern out of the box, look at it a few minutes and put it back. It is all paper piecing. i don't know what is intimidating mr about starting it. DH even helped me pick all of the fabrics for it. I have downloaded the corrections from the web site. There are several pages of them. A $50.00 pattern should not need to have corrections.

I am way behind the trends but I would love to make a bargello quilt. I go to pick out fabric and I get so intimidated that I just go home. I will keep trying though. I would also like to make a Baltimore quilt some day. Selecting the fabric will be a lot easier for that one.
