ManiacQuilter2

NO WONDER I agree with everything AMMA says. I am a Gemini TOO. I pulled fabric on Saturday night, the 2nd of July for the lap quilt contest. Due to my disability, I had not even attempted to complete a quilt in over 6 years. I had been busy making just the tops for charity. Unfortunately, during the first half of Sunday, I was STILL making changes to the fabric I thought I had finally chosen. I was on a deadline for the lap quilt contest so I had to stay on schedule. It wasn't easy but you have to think how rewarding it will be when the quilt is finished. All I could think of was the train that kept saying, I THINK I CAN !! Being disable, I didn't even know if I could do the hand stitching on the binding. It only took me two days to complete the stitching for the binding. I had schedule 3 days. So I finished a day early. YAHOO !! Set a doable schedule to try to get a project done but always remember that it is NOT set in cement. I truly wish I was not such a fussy perfectionist. My best quilting friend just slaps quilts together (they are lovely) for charity but no, I have to think and analysis ever step of making a charity quilt. You just have to learn to live with it and do your best! OH, Dear, I think I hear a UFO calling me....... I am a little off my OWN schedule.... BYE !!!
