I started a small quilt group at my church to show a few ladies how to quilt. Well, one lady wanted to make a shaggy denim quilt from her hubby's jeans. So, we make rag quilts. My mind then begins to think I could make a denim quilt for my 3 children and spouses. Now that's one for my bed and 6 for kids and company.
I say all this to explain, you are not alone. We all have many quilts bouncing in our brains while we are currently working on something else. That is how we get WIP's (work in progress) and UFO's (unfinished objects) in our collections.
Don't be tough on your self. Start with something small and simple and work at your own progress. Good Luck.

You are so not alone. I get all excited about a pattern, buy fabric and then can't decide what to do or can't remember the pattern for the fabric. I drive myself crazy and I am sooo slow. I'm thinking maybe we should start making project bags for all the new pattens and fabric and keep them together. Just a big sigh.

so if there's something seriously wrong with you, it looks like we are all in good company!! I can start out in the morning and have every intention of getting to the quilting machine, and when 5 comes around, Ive never made it....

Well, I feel like this sailor with my quilting. I have so many projects I want to make, so many patterns I have saved, so much fabric in my stash, that I can't decide which to do first, so in the end I do nothing and spend all my time on this board. How pathetic is that ?
