To Quilt or Not to Quilt


Do you ever just sit in front of the sewing machine and go, "wooohoo, there are so many projects, where do I begin.....? A quilt is one I keep coming back too (and keep avoiding) but I am determined to complete another one. Its been a year since I made the one above and another one for my nephew. I guess its the immediate gratification issue, I want something finished, in my hands, so I can... you know, congratulate myself. Quilts, well they just take a while. And what if after all that work it doesn't turn out as great as I imagined. Well the only way to know is to do it, right? I think Ill make a commitment to start small and just do it. By the end of July I'm committing to create at least one quilt, even if only fit for a barbie (my daughter would love that). I promise to share my final product - even if it turns out less than gorgeous. But I'm sure it will be divine (gotta think positive)!! here some quilts to inspire me and maybe you... Gees Bend Quilts, ChristinaRomeo, ChristinaRomeo, Shelece, becauseimme. Let me know if you want to join me in creating that quilt you have been putting on the back burner.
