Yes, that is what I have been doing to keep myself in the game so to say. You would be surprised at how long 15 minutes can drag. Sometimes it dragged so long that I feel worse than I started. I wonder if this is how quilters acquire so many UFOs? UFOs are tough on me because I am a finisher. I like to finish a project before I start on the next one. Lately I have been getting better or worse depending on who is watching. Before I work on another quilt I would usually work one until I can't due to out of thread color, no more perishable supplies (marker pens, fusible webbing, and etc.), finished top, or sandwich stage time.
