Toni...Google...that's how I ended up with 3 word doc full "copy/paste" pic. Not to mention three 3 ring binders of "Possible Future Quits", Quilts I Wanna Do", "Quits Done Once or Twice." (Oh my aching head)

I don't have a problem picking the "next" project. I have a problem staying on task with that project! I get side-tracked by the next shiny bauble that comes along. I then start working on that until something else comes along! I currently have 2 tops that need to be sandwiched and finished, 3 that I have started, and....another I started at 11:00 PM last night! I need to stop looking and focus on sewing!

Lots of good ideas. And some I've never thought of.
For several years, I've been downsizing my stash making comfort quilts. So when I find an interesting straight line/no triangle pattern, that becomes my next project and make 4-8 of them, until I run out of fabric that fits the project or get tired of the pattern.
The opposite works too, pull fabrics I want to work with and find a pattern that fits with the amount available of each fabric.
