I go through them often when trying to decide what quilt I want to make but I always end up making the same patterns over and over again because they are the ones I am most comfortable with. What about you? Do you actually make those quilts or are they all part of your 'someday' collection? I think I'm just a collector of all things quilty.

At the moment I am making my version of the Baltimore Bliss BOM blocks free from FatCat patterns. I only have the last 6 so will do either a double up of the patterns or do some embroidery in alternate blocks. They are all 16 inches square.

I make what I call "idea books". I clip ideas out of magazines such as patterns, cool color combinations that I would like to try, pictures of things I could make up a pattern for myself, little poems, sayings, anything that brings joy to me. I love to go through them when I need new inspiration and find a new project or just enjoy. They are 3 ring binders and the clippings are either glued to black paper and inserted in plastic sleeves, or if they are full pages, just put into the sleeves. I also print out things I find on the computer and include them.
