Yes, to do a good job, I have to be in a quilting frame of mind! When I have worked on something when I wasn't in the mood, I have screwed it up big time, all the while thinking I am doing a great job, but later, I see where I have put the wrong color patch, or cut a whole bunch of pieces backwards, or......
I have even been known to clean house when I am on deadline to finish something, because I am not "there"!
I am currently working on a number of paper pieced pandas, and finally tonight, I "feel" like working on them. :?
Good question!
