Yep and I'm working on the second book -titled Dreams of a Quilter #2

:-P :-P

Ps 150

That is just what I was thinking! I apologized to Holice for exluding the men. I should've made the title to this thread, "Okay Quilters, Time To 'Fess Up". I keep forgetting there's men on here. I come from a family where the men absolutely refuse to even enter the sewing rooms unless there's candy waiting for them there. My Gram always told me that a good sewing room has giggling children, a candy jar and a big button box. So, the women in our family who actually keep to this strategy get to see the men a bit more

I do not have a To-Do list on quilts. I have never thought of that one, but it is a good idea. My challenge quilts will be a paper-pieced Mariners Compass, paper-pieced Double Wedding Ring, and a Baltimore Album. Jeanniebelle

So many quilts, so little time.
A quilt for my sister when she comes to Montana to visit this summer.
My daughter has assigned me 17 more quilts for her (she wants to make sure I don't miss her to much when she goes to graduate school)
I have 4 finished I just need to do the quilting on.
A study in black, red, and white.
Just the top of the list.

I am lucky that my husband is supportive of my hobby but if I let him into my sewing area to often he will not only find my HUGE stash but he will want to start choosing the fabric for the next project.

I have bins full of patterns that are even matched up with fabrics from my stash. Trouble is, my tastes change faster than I can get them started or finished. And I've been known to rob one project to make another. But I don't look at a to do list as a contractual agreement. It's just a list of suggestions. I do what strikes me at any given moment of choosing the next thing to work on.

Have that picture blown up as large as you can get it. Use tracing paper to trace around the "main parts" and then find fabrics to block it in. Lay in details after.

Just as in painting, start from the furthest point back and work toward the front. Greyed down shades in the back and brighter as you approach the nearest point.
