Lone Star with applique in the setting triangles and squares. My parents had a Lone Star quilt when I was a child and I've always wanted one of my own.

Definitely Shakespeare in the Park. I liked every quilt picture I've seen using this pattern, including the one in the link posted by Rebecca. Isn't that quilt beautiful!!

Keep it up, people! I love them. I'm shopping, I'm shopping!

Why is it called "Shakespeare in the Park?" Does any one know. The first thing I was reminded of when I saw it was Van Gogh's "Starry Night." Beautiful quilt!

Annie

I knew that quilt reminded me of something else! You are right, Annie, Starry Night by Van Gogh. When you are on the Judy Martin web site, you can see all the versions of her quilt patterns made by others in the Gallery.

Ohhhh...so many quilts, so little time! I've been wanting to do Bonnie Hunter's Random Ohio Stars.

A red and white quilt in some traditional pattern...maybe Broken Dishes.

Well, I've made a Lone Star and a Shakespeare in the Park (I don't know why Judy Martin called it that...), but I have a list of ones yet to be tried. I have Judy M's book "Scraps" which has several I want to make. Burgoyne Surrounded is also on my list! But the ultimate would be a hand quilted whole cloth quilt.

I used to keep little lists of all the quilts I wanted to do, but I kept losing them. I copy pics of them now and save them to my pictures folder on the puter.

The one quilt I wanted to make my whole life (even before I ever quilted) was a tumbling blocks, the old way, with the inset seams. It was my second quilt, so I got it out of my system. It was such a project, that I figured I'd better get it out of the way, in case I never wanted to look at a quilt again. LOL.

I've wanted to make a scrappy spider web quilt for a long time too, so even though I have several quilts in various stages of being put together I have started one. I mean, you can use even the tiniest shreds of material in one, and between each quilt top I make in a pattern, I try to make a scrappy so I won't be collecting too many pounds of them.

My favorite is the Baltimore Album quilt but it is beyond me so I guess my favorite is the next one down the road which will be the disappearing 9 patch. The 9 patch is one of my farorite blocks because there are so many variations and so much that can be done with it. Jayne

What I'd like to do is rather off the beaten path. I like the designs on manhole covers & over the years I've made rubbings of them, they're beautiful geometric designs.

Ideally, I'd prefer to batik the fabrics myself, but living in a rented WHITE apartment, I long ago gave up using dyes & dying my own works here at home.

I'd like to use a rubbing to make a design for whole cloth quilting of these geometric designs; would be beautiful.

I would love to make a Storm at Sea.

Pirate girl: I think your idea is great. I have a friend who was invited to make sample quilts for a book on Roman tiles. I wonder how different manhole designs are from city to city. I love rubbings period.

My plans for the immediate future are a series of samurai wall hangings, but I always plan a quilt for my church auction and that is traditional. That "Starry Night" or Shakespeare in the park is really seductive, especially in the blue. When I did my Blue Bear, it was because I had done a number of quilts in browns on commission and I was starved for blues. I still am.

My favorite pattern that I haven't done is the pickle dish.

Brides Bouquet ( nosegay,cornucopia) all same pattern ,found in Elenor Burns Egg Money Quilts. Have always wanted to try it.

I really, really, really, really, really like that Shakespeare in the Park pattern. I might have to add that to my "hope to do" list! Thanks for sharing.
Salijo

....liked it so much, I ordered the book last night from Amazon.com!!!!

Cascading Stars by Karen Combs. I have the pattern, but, well, you know how that goes.

Love that Cascading Stars pattern! I love playing with color and shading.

Annie

I like that too, mom; you ought to start planning it.
Salijo

Love the Shakespear in the Park pattern, but am having a lot of difficulty in finding the pattern, there seem to be lots of pictures using various colors but not the actual pattern. Anybody know where I can find it? Thanks

The Shakespeare in the Park pattern is in THE CREATIVE PATTERN BOOK by Judy Martin.
Salijo

Salijo, You want me to start planning that when I don't even have your quilt done????? or Addison's, or Raina's, or.....I can't even remember what other's I had out working on. Oh well, Why Not! @:)

SharonG/mom

Sharon, I have the Cascading Stars as well as the Shaded Log Cabin by Karen Combs, my problems is which do plan first. Maybe I should plan on the Stars and we can encourage each other.... I'm slow and you'd beat me by a (mile) year... ha ha

Jacke - (going in to look at stash)

I have several planned for the New Year but my favorite is a Pineapple Quilt, it's in the list.
