I'm one of those overly-organized people, so I not only have a list, I have a schedule! I work on my computer all day, so I keep my list on the computer and that makes it easy to insert and change things as project get finished and others get added.

My current list / schedule looks like this:

August
31 - Blue & Yellow block swap
- Countryside Families Forum block

September
31 - Tulip blocks

October
15 - Center for International round-robin
28 - HQ Guild BoM

November
1 - Rob & Kristie's wedding quilt
- Pair of quilted curtains for the basement
- Pair of quilted curtains for the guest bedroom
26 - HQ Guild BoM

December
25 - Throw-sized quilt for Amanda
- Set of quilted coasters and placemats for Daphne
- Lap quilt for Baba

January
1 - Wandering Star wallhanging

No deadline
- Sampler quilt
- English paper-piecing project

My list changes with each day. I want to do every quilt there is. My goal is to make a quilt for everyone in the world who is cold.

No, this does not need to be a rule. My list may have a rough order to it, but it's just a collection of projects I want to do. So I don't forget a good idea. Nothing says I have to go from the top down, in order.

ai731, I love your schedule. That keeps you on track, I'm sure!

I only read a few of the replies, but feel as if I am in the minority. :oops: I have lots of magazines and binders of patterns, but don't really come up with a concrete idea until I "need" to make my next quilt. And, usually, I only work on one at a time. But, as I am almost finished with my current project, for my MIL, I will need some ideas.... :wink: :wink:

You sound just like me. I only learned to quilt one year ago, and I've already made two twin-sized quilts, a king-sized quilt, several wall hangings, and I'm working on two more. I too was bitten by the bug, but it's not surprising since I have always loved quilts.

Yes, I have a "list," although it is not written down. My goal is to make everyone in my family a quilt. Period. And it is a big family!

But, I have set no time limit on this project. I do them as I do them. The only one that there was a time limit on is the Airplane quilt I just finished, because I wanted to give it to my son on his graduation from flight school. And I made it in time. Other than that, they are finished when they are finished, and I'm not going to worry myself into a frazzle over it. I enjoy the quilting too much to do that.

The 'list' is only in my head, but I had to laugh when I read your post. I'm pretty new to this, too; but I have mega bytes of free patterns on my computer, and idea book of things I would like to do, patterns that I have ordered and hope to get done 'someday,' and things marked in every catalog I get of things I want to order. I think it's a sickness, but I tell myself "at least I don't drink."
