I want to keep working and finish my first Judie Niemeyer quilt and I want to use my Go! to make some scrappy quilts.
i also bought some tops that are a Trip Around the World and a Pickle Dish and want to explore some involved quilting designs on those.

I am with Pagzz, after having just completed my first appliqué crib quilt (Mommy & Me) I am going to incorporate more appliqué into my quilting in 2018. I just took a class with Timna Tarr and started a map piece so that will require plenty of applique. Check out www.timnatarr.com

Crazy quilt! Me too! Just bought a few books at great sale prices from Amazon, waiting for delivery....went to JAF yesterday to seek out remnants of trims and embellishments...not too lucky there....have quilt in a day pattern for CQ, but am debating on maybe buying Sizzix die for cutting......still in planning stage.....
also do like the hickory nut idea...there are a few videos on YouTube showing that QAYG method of hexies, by machine. But then again, this too may end up being a stack of UFOs! But one can hope!

I joined a group at a LQS called "12 in 12". We meet once a month and we listed 12 projects we wanted to finish or do. This has made me so much more focused. I can't believe what it has done for me. I can have more than one thing going at a time but I am getting so much more done and my sewing space is neater. I will make a new list for 2018 and will do more small quilts. I have more large quilts than I need and more than my family wants. I do quite a few donation quilts that go together rather quickly. I think the small quilts will help me learn more techniques and allow me to push myself to try harder patterns.
