I started with a lot of log cabins then on to rag quilt that every one in the family wanted for there family rooms for watching tv, so I ended up doing way to many of those. Many baby quilts in simple patterns, and now I am into crazy colors and have just started a crazy quilt of silk, brocades, velvets and beads. It is stunning so far. Hopefully it will be done before the end of the world......

Some quilters like to work in "series" where the same pattern is used in different settings, colors, scale or colors (I read that Nancy Crow used to do that).
But no matter how many times I've tried after the second quilt I'm ready to run screaming from the sewing room-
I just finished quilts for a son and daughter-both kaleidoscope patterns-and even though they were very different in fabrics and setting it took all of my self-discipline to not just put the second one in a drawer w/ my other 'best intentions' projects:
I feel your pain(!)
