Daring to Dream

Lately, I have been thinking about goals for quilts to make in the new year. Invariably, however, this leads me - at least for awhile - to ponder the ultimate quilts. You know what I mean, I think. Those fantastic quilts that are just so amazing that they dare you to dream about making them yourself. Do you ever have such wild dreams??

When I ponder the quilts that I 'someday' would love to make, here are a few that come to mind. I will just show you pictures - explanation is unnecessary, because I would be willing to bet that many of you quilters out there have the same awe and desire and admiration for these quilts that I do.

 

Either Bella, Bella (above) or Viva (below); not both. 

 In 2008 (if memory serves), I attended a Ricky Tims seminar in Tennessee, and I saw this Rhapsody Quilt in person. It is utterly breathtaking. I have a similar book for it, but not this precise pattern.

 

Don't worry. I won't be tackling any of these in the new year. I have far too many UFOs to attend to this coming year - yes, we are doing another UFO challenge. Someday, though, I do hope that I can see myself actually doing more than just dream about making one of these quilts.

I'm dreaming, yes.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
