Poll -- What's on YOUR list?

Trying to keep my dreams within limits, because of those 'things to
finish'.
Finishing the Dear Jane is still a dream, though; plus:
a village/town quilt
a Lone Star
a Blooming Nine-patch in miniature

I've been mulling over all the quilts I want to make some day and was
wondering what (probably time-consuming) classic quilts everybody else
has on their "I want to do that some day" list.

My list:

tumbling blocks quilt
thousand pyramids quilt
millenium quilt/charm quilt
Bethlehem Star quilt
grandmother's flower garden/hexagon quilt
trip around the world quilt
Baltimore Album quilt

There are probably more that I'm not remembering right now.

What's on YOUR list?

:-D

I'm like you, Sandy. There are some types of quilts I'd like to try,
someday, but they change often! As soon as technique or style or color combo
strikes my fancy, I say, oh! I want to do that! If I actually started all
these... well, I'd rival Susan's 100!

My list changes so often that I've stopped keeping it. g I just work
on what interests me at the moment and then trust that something else
(or several somethings!) will occur to me after that. LOL!

There are a lot that I would love to do, but the only one I have in my head
that I have promised myself to do would be a Dear Jane Quilt. There are so
many different blocks in that quilt that I would feel like I had made so
many different quilts by the time I was done. The problem is, I don't even
know how to start.

One way is the BOM through Stitching Heaven- they pick the fabric for
you and send instructions, and you can do it in order.

Or go get the software, and I think there's advise with that for easy
blocks compared to hard blocks, and you can hop around that way.

Some LQS host a DJ group. There is also a DJ mailing list. They'll offer
encouragement too.

Just pick a block and start works too.

That's good to know, georg. I really like the Stitching Heaven BOM idea. I
don't trust myself to pick out that much fabric for something so big. I will
check it out.

Hmmm, good question. Right now the only classic quilt I have in mind is a
double wedding ring, and I've already started it (using repros). Other than
that, well, I'm open to any possibility. Years ago I started keeping a
scrapbook with examples of quilts I wanted to make someday. But when I went
back to look through that book, I found that my tastes have changed, and I
wasn't nearly as crazy about those choices as I once was!

Mine would be a Baltimore Album quilt..... bed sized would be nice but
I'd even settle for one of those mind-bogglingly, extremely tiny minis.
