    LOL, just a hundred? What's holding you back?

    Way too many wonderful picutues on this board.
    I was guestimating...wasn't going to actually count :lol: I also have a 4" binder FILLED with patterns. I rather like the idea of putting all the names of the quilts in a jar and just pick my next project that way. How long will it take me to write down the names of them all to put in the jar? :?

    I have the same problem. I see blocks I haven't tried before and just started 3 different pinwheel tops (3 different size pinwheels) just cause I loved the fabric and forgot where I left off. I'm overwhelmed with ideas too and people I want to make a quilt for. No time to do any of it. I keep thinking I need to focus on one until it is finished, but I love learning new techniques and new blocks. What is a girl to do?!

    Oh, you mean like the tile floor or the window in the community center? or the pattern the silhouette of a tree makes across the snow or the huge picture of a giraffe and how perfectly the shapes of the spots appear...... on and on and on?

    I think I figured out the answer for what next! Last night I was dreaming about a way to do a scrappy quilt.

    DRAT------------HIT SEND TOO FAST

    It will be called BUTTONS & BOWS, 8 blocks wide by 10 blocks long, and sent to a female soldier at Walter Reed. It's a folded block I learned to make on a Nancy Zieman show. I'm going to set the blocks together with a black or very dark gray tone on tone.

    A little bit at a time------------since it is going to be a scrappy quilt. I expect to be done this time next year
