I feel like a failure even though they turn out fine because they aren't the size I originally intended. How can I maintain the focus needed to finish the size I wanted to begin with or atleast not look at them as failures?
Geez Louise, I'm a total failure then. I've run into this so many times. If it happens to me, I put the whole thing aside and let it sit for a while and if I still feel the same way when I see it again, I do something with the already made blocks or send them off to a UFO orphanage and repurpose the rest of the fabric. Sometimes things just don't work for me in spite of my best intentions and I figure I only have so long on this planet. There are things I must do, and things I should do, but quilting is my play time and should be fun. Nothing else matters.
