The journey, that's exactly what I refer to it as when people are working on a project. Take your time, &, enjoy the journey. It's not a race, & not even a competition, really. This is suppose to be fun, something we do for us, no matter where the finished quilt ends up. This I do for me, & my soul. Any preferences & how we all choose to accomplish this, is any individuals own choice. It is all about the journey, so trust your instincts, & or, the knowledge you gather, & make sure you enjoy it! I have to agree with the one who started this topic, all in all, it's pretty cool, so enjoy!
