Then, I was shamed because it took me so long to complete anything. So, I started learning rotary cutters and cutting mats. Now I feel shamed that I have so many tops unquilted, and so many WIPs.
I think loves_2_quilt has hit the nail on the head. It's whatever makes YOU happy. I've also decided, for me, the joy comes in gathering the fabrics, and planning the project.
I can't wait to see your Snake River log cabin when Charisma works her magic on it. That is one BEAUTIFUL quilt!
Don't any of you dare to even think about being "shyamed" about any of your quilting projects..!!!
If you even pick up a needle and sew two scraps of fabric together, then you are being creative! ...That is an enormous blessing in today's world!
Don't bemoan your mistakes! Just enjoy the pretty color combinations, the comforting feel of the finished quilt wrapped around you or a little kid or baby.
If you or another quilter had not thought of an interesting pattern, and sewed it together into something unique,
there would be a bit less beauty in this world!
