Some of us are patchwork people and some of us are quilting people (few though). My friend is a fabric person and has pieces of gorgeous fabrics draped where she can see them. It is a good thing we are all different. You excel at patchwork and design. I excel at quilting and enhancing the patchwork with my quilting. It is a good thing we are different or I would be doing the same pattern forever when I do patchwork.
I am a machine quilter. One lady said to me "I don't like machine quilting. It looks like mattress pads. But yours I like. I am surprised."
Another woman I know thinks you must make a pattern exactly like it is shown. You can't change colors ever. There are pockets of thinking that is not artistic and creative. You know quilts must be square. Seams must meet. No raw edges. ETC. Etc. etc.
If you enjoy seeing your beautiful, joyful quilt tops hanging, then hang them. Even though I love the quilting part, I don't see why every top has to be quilted. I don't see why every piece of fabric has to be used. I only see that we need to create beauty and to enjoy it at all stages. That poor other lady, how aweful for her that she must have a quilt finished before she can enjoy it. WE should all keep her in our prayers.
