That's me- I have to go do something else to make me feel better about myself before I touch the fabric. It's like there is this spiritual connection with the project- into it gets poured my love, my talent and myself, and I wouldn't want angry feelings poured into it. Like you, I would never want to see that piece again, because the colors or arrangement would bring up all those yucky feelings again. I can't even quilt when I'm feeling sick.
Now making bread is just the opposite for me- I can knead bread and pound it out with never a care that my anger is going to show up in the baked loaf. Maybe it's the cleansing part of it being baked.
