I do not rush though. I am simply not capable of rushing. I have been quilting for 4 years and have barely gone beyond basic piecing techniques because I labor over the process and nitpick my work to death. That being said, I LOVE the process and find it very liberating!
The first sentence in this quote is beautifully put - nearly made me tear up. :-)
And the nitpicking thing I can sooo relate to! There would be no point in me rushing either because I KNOW I'd end up unsewing. I go over my quilts witht a fine tooth comb looking for imperfections. If there's a teeny tiny loop on the back where I had a little tension issue while FMQing, I have to sort it out. It's bad and I should stop it but I just can't help myself. :oops:
