Me too! I started a list on a spreadsheet a few months back. That way I can actually keep track, but my list isn't complete. On the list I have the size, who it's to be made for, and things I need to buy, that way I have it all at a glance. Then I have a tab for each project and list the pattern, a link to it online, the fabrics I have that I'm planning for it, and anything I need to purchase. I have about 20 projects on the list, but many more books with patterns I'd like to do.

Like many others who have posted, I have yet to finish a few UFO's that are on my 2015 list of goals (four to be exact) However, I have purchased/saved a couple of patterns which I am anxious to tackle. One is called Line of Fibs.

I use this fabric to make totes out of.

UFO's and kits I've put together are a gimmie....
My Main goal is to become a proficient quilter- i just got a Sweet Sixteen, so I have a long way to getting there!!
As far as quilts, a Wholecloth quilt with linens as in the type Cindy Nedham does!

There are so many in magazines that I would like to do, but one day I will challenge myself to do a Storm At Sea. I normally do fairly easy or quick quilts simply because I dislike UFOs. When I start a quilt I see it through to completion. So I try to do quilts that can be done in a week or 2. Storm At Sea will take me longer.

What's on my bucket list? Much more than I have years left to live. Last count I had over 150 UFO's, but I would say my top priority is to use up my stash and all my scraps that seem to multiply as well as my UFO's. Don't think I have a long enough lifetime unless I am granted two or three more. And then there is all of those "Oh I would like to make one of those" ideas as well. Tooooooo much and not enough time.

Nerys, I have done this very battingless quilt before (lived in Arizona at the time). You will LOVE it when it's done. I worked at a fabric store at the time (I had to do sewing classes, this is one I did), so I would get upholstery fabric (end of bolt, remnants what ever was in the colors I wanted - Black, Gold and Green). It gets heavy to work with, but it looked wonderful on the end of the bed over a green bedspread. Make your seams wider 1/2", upholstery fabric likes to unravel. Good luck and have fun
