Dream Projects

I have an ever changing list in my head of projects I want to do. Some of them have patterns, some have fabrics. Somehow they haven’t quite gotten up to the top of the list. I decided to make a list of projects I want to make in the future and what state they are in. They may never get made, but at least I won’t forget about them if I write them down.

Some of these come from the Current Projects list (Hunting and Gathering section). I don’t know if I will keep them there or move them here. Lots to work out, so stay tuned.

Art Institute of Chicago Fusible Quilt

  • Pattern: Original
  • Fabric: Blue and red
  • Steps: need to fuse a bunch of turquoise to something

Basketweave Baby

  • Fabric: Scrappy
  • Pattern: Fons & Porter
  • Thoughts: I like the challenge of piecing this quilt

Food quilt #2

  • Pattern: Disappearing something, probably 4 patch or 9 patch
  • Fabric: RJR Food prints. Will use a different color for the non-food print section than I did for the Young Man’s version.
  • Thoughts: Gift for son of good friends for graduation

Food quilt #3

  • Pattern: Disappearing something, probably 4 patch or 9 patch
  • Fabric: RJR Food prints. Will use a different color for the non-food print section than I did for the Young Man’s version.
  • Thoughts: Gift for nephew for graduation

Music Quilt

  • pattern: Don’t know
  • Fabric: music prints and tone-on-tones
  • Thoughts: The Young Man has requested this quilt as his graduation quilt

Pineapple

  • Fabric: dots. Have most of the strips cut. Will be much more selective about which strips I use.
  • Pattern: Pineapple log cabin
  • Thoughts: I haven’t given up on a Pineapple quilt despite my frustration with the previous attempt. I bought a different ruler: a Creative Grids Pineapple ruler in hopes that it will work better for me.

Spin Wheel

Stepping Stones #2

  • Fabric: Bonnie & Camille fabrics Bliss, Ruby, Vintage Modern: made two test blocks, but still in the thinking stage while I decide on the background colors. I want the contrast to be good.
  • Pattern:

Stepping Stones #3

  • Fabric: Macaron pre-cuts from Hoffman. It isn’t started, but I have all the pre-cuts and think they would make a really fun version of this quilt.
  • Pattern:

Windmill

  • Fabric: Still hunting and gathering. I will use a grey for the background, because if I use more of the cut fabric patches, the pattern will be lost. The pieces are too oddly shaped and I don’t want to lose the pattern in a mass of scraps.
  • Pattern: Come Quilt with Me Rotary templates

I don’t know if this will be a regular feature, but it might be.

  1. I’m interested in knowing how the creative grids pineapple ruler works for you. I also want to make one, just not sure what method I want to use. I like the idea of your list.

    1. I don’t like paper piecing so I am hoping that this ruler will work better for me than the Possibilities ruler. A friend and I might do a quilt-a-long with this ruler. Want to join us?

  2. I found it funny that YM requested a music quilt as his graduation gift, yet you were thinking in food #2 :))) hope one day your list will be all crossed out, but then it will have more at the end added to it, right? 🙂

    1. I never finished mine (remember we took the class together?) because all the blocks came out different sizes. I have a new ruler and am planning to try that.

  5. I like this feature — I like the little glimpse into your thinking and also think it will be good for keeping track of your intentions for various fabrics/patterns….
