I don\u2019t want to copy her, but if I do this quilt, I\u2019d like to have the same pinky-red feel to it. One challenge about a mostly monochromatic quilt is getting enough contrast. I look forward to that challenge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Feathered Star Block<\/strong> (Dream State)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: I haven&#8217;t decided on a particular feathered star<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: use the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/09\/triangle-technique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Triangle Technique <\/a>for the HSTs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Food quilt #3<\/strong>&nbsp;(Hunting and Gathering)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: Disappearing something, probably 4 patch or 9 patch<\/li>\n<li>Fabric: RJR Food prints. Will use a different color for the non-food print section than I did for the Young Man\u2019s version.<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: Gift for nephew for graduation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Good Night Irene Quilt<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: Good Night Irene from the Missouri Star Quilt Company&#8217;s Block magazine, Spring issue v.2, issue 2, pg. 54<\/li>\n<li>Fabric: Possibly a layer cake I already have, though I am tempted to use the scrap 2.5&#8243; squares I have been cutting.<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: I thought about using dots on a white background, as I did with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/quilts-2\/quilts-2014\/scrapitude-carnivale\/\">Scrapitude Carnivale<\/a> quilt as the background. It makes the Scrapitude quilt look so cheerful. I probably wouldn&#8217;t call it Good Night Irene.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Half Moon Modern Quilt<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: I have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/06\/half-moon-modern-possibilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some ideas<\/a>, but nothing definite. It occurred to me that I could use the Stepping Stones pattern with a strong background to make the pattern show up. I&#8217;ll think about that.<\/li>\n<li>Fabric: Half Moon Modern Fabrics. I have half yard cuts, I think, plus some odds and ends and I\u2019d like to use them together with some additional fabrics, or, at least a background.<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: I do think it is difficult to start with fabrics rather than a pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Interlocking Triangles Quilt(s)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: This is an idea that I designed myself. I made <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/quilts-2\/series-quilts\/interlocking-triangle-quilts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two quilts<\/a> and have variations on the pattern to make more.<\/li>\n<li>Fabric: I have a few different collections of fabric I want to use. Most are rainbow colored<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: This is a quilt from which I get a lot of bang for my buck. The visual impact is tremendous. The easiest way to do the spiky triangles is with paper piecing. I am not that big of a fan of paper piecing (read my laments about the <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/spiderweb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spiderweb<\/a>\u2018s paper piecing). I made Spiky Stars using templates and that was meditative and won a prize, so it is doable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Jack\u2019s Chain Quilt<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: Jack\u2019s Chain, a continuous pattern<\/li>\n<li>Fabric: bright scrappy, consistent centers<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: This is one of the first quilts I saw hanging in a quilt store and thought of making, after I had learned to quilt. Making the nine patches would be a good leaders and enders endeavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Medium Mondo Bag<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quiltsmart.com\/khxc\/index.php?app=ccp0&amp;ns=prodshow&amp;ref=fun_mondobag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QuiltSmart<\/a>. Saw Katie\u2019s and really liked it. I also thought it would be a good use of those mini-charms, or give me an excuse to buy them.<\/li>\n<li>Fabric: I have a number of groups of mini-charm packs I have been collecting to use for this project. I will probably go with a combination of Bonnie &amp; Camille fabrics to start.<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: There is something about the stabilizer that I cannot wrap my head around, which is one of the reasons I have not started this pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Music Quilt<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: Top will have a piece of music the Young Man can actually play. That will probably be applique&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Fabric\/Colors: music prints and tone-on-tones with a little red<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: The Young Man has requested this quilt as his graduation quilt. Probably won&#8217;t make it for graduation, but I will make it. He has sent me a piece of music, which I need to print out and make into an applique&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Neutrals and Red\/Scarlet Quilt<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: Sew two ~3?x3? squares together, slice each separate fabric and insert a red strip, resew and sew the two squares to another set of squares.<\/li>\n<li>Fabric: neutrals+white, black and whites. I have some of these. I bought them not know what to do with them.<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: gift<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pineapple<\/strong>&nbsp;(Hunting and Gathering)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric: dots. Have most of the strips cut. Will be much more selective about which strips I use.<\/li>\n<li>Pattern: Pineapple log cabin<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts: I haven\u2019t given up on a Pineapple quilt despite my frustration with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2012\/07\/pineapple-redux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous attempt<\/a>. I bought a different ruler: a Creative Grids Pineapple ruler in hopes that it will work better for me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pink Rectangles Gradation Quilt<\/strong>&nbsp;(Hunting and Gathering)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric: pink 2.5\u00d74.5 rectangles<\/li>\n<li>Pattern: similar to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2009\/10\/finished-done-complete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FOTY 2008<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Thoughts:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Scrapitude #2<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric: scrappy again, but with NO browns or blacks or super darks that look like holes; also more blues and perhaps a different background, though I do like the dots on bright white.

One was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/08\/finished-kona-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kona Challenge<\/a> in 2011, another was my 1990 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/quilts-2\/series-quilts\/colorblock-quilts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colorblocks 2<\/a> and the first one, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/quilts-2\/series-quilts\/colorblock-quilts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colorblocks<\/a>, also made in about 1990. I bought the fabrics at the Marin Needlearts show about a zillion years ago and they have languished waiting for me to learn to back them so I can use them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Spin Wheel<\/strong> &nbsp;(Hunting and Gathering)<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pattern: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fonsandporter.com\/articles\/spin_wheel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fons &amp; Porter Spin Wheel<\/a>, 1200 series, <a href=\"http:\/\/video.fonsandporter.com\/videos\/2119_conjoining-blocks-and-pyramid-triangles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">episode 1201<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fabric: Scrappy with controlled scrappy background<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Stepping Stones #3<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fabric: Macaron pre-cuts from Hoffman.

I will use a grey for the background, because if I use more of the cut fabric patches, the pattern will be lost.
