Quilt Patterns To Save, and Maybe Someday Make

 

 I like this easy-looking beachy theme one using greens and yellows!


 
Bear Paw is a classic I have to do!



This gorgeous hexie one makes me want to add a 3rd hexie one to my to-do list some day, even though I haven't finished the first two.






Spellbinding Stars. 
I love the plaids and general homespun look. 
 I'd love to do this one in very dark greens (instead of blues). Trying to visualize a sprinkle of reds in place of just a few of the golds.  Maybe someday.


Chicken Salad
The base pattern of this quilt design is Chicken Salad by Lori Holt.  I'm changing the design by evicting 3 of her 12 chickens and replacing them with barn, truck, tractor and other designs from some of her other quilt patterns. I like the green tractor more than the red, but think the quilt needs red there so will probably leave it. I'll probably change the 2 lower-left corn cobs to small carrots and add a pea pod to he peas under the tractor.  This quilt will require a lot of applique.
