my quilting future?

I recently "inherited" a whole box full of fabric from my in-laws.  I went through it all last night and got so excited about the possibilities!

What is on the couch above isn't even half of what I was given! 

So, the next steps are to:
1) get a sewing machine -buy or borrow (Spassky- tell me who you are!)
2) decide on a pattern
3) get some supplies
4) go to it!

I have been getting inspiration lately by checking out a few blogs/websites focusing on modern quilting.  Here are a few I really like:
