I'm staring at my current quilt, which is pinned to the wall. Okay, the actual quilt isn't pinned to the wall, but rather the backing fabric (the 4" extra around the quilt) is pinned to the wall, the batting is pinned to the backing, and the front of the quilt is pinned to that. Eh, not sure why I feel like I need to clairify on that.

I'm staring at it knowing I should be working on it. I could be marking the spots where the ties should go on the last three blocks for the ties...with pins because I had trouble getting the white chalk out when I marked in the wrong place so it looks more like a tool for voodoo practice rather than a quilt. Yet I can't seem to get around to it. Like last night before I got off work I told myself I would work on it, but when I got off work I decided I would play Professor Layton on my DS. Three hours of puzzle solving later I decided I would work on the quilt tomorrow. So now it's tomorrow and part of me is saying I should be playing Zelda so I can get one step closer to the part with the stained glass windows so I can record video with my video capture card, make screen shots, and make patterns.

It seems like I really want to work on it is when I'm taking break at work, but when I'm actually around the actual quilt I want to do other things. And I don't know why. I don't hate the quilt. In fact, I think it looks awesome so far. So its not a matter of not wanting to work on a quilt I despise. I know I want to get this thing done, off my bedroom wall, and go to Andrew's house to give it to him. Its more understandable if I get off work and don't want to do anything but relax because I'm tired. But then there's days like today where its my day off and I still have yet to make any progress and seem to keep thinking up of other things to do. Any theories as to why?
