Just wanted to share that I came up with a game plan that seems to be helping. Today I locked myself in my sewing room (without guilt!) and actually took time to sort my entire stash by color and size (still working on it, but almost there). I've got a bunch of piles lined up on my window seat, plus a basket full of 'scraps' that I can use for my next paper-piecing project (by Town & Country EQ). Never thought that just organizing and gaining somewhat control in my area would feel so good. I found a bunch of really cool fabric that I totally forgot I had because it was buried under my piles. I can now start to plan which colors to use in my next project with ease. My next step will be to actually make a list and cross things off to show taht I AM actually making steps forward. I think setting goals and taking time to do things right is going to help me be able to quilt more in the long run.
Anyway, just wanted to share! :)
