I'm with you girl, I love the process of choosing a pattern and of course choosing the "right' fabric for the quilt top.
I never rush making the quilt top. I take my time with cutting, pressing, piecing, etc. Always taking time to read the directions,
thinking through the placement of all the fabrics.
I believe anything worth doing is worth doing well.
I don't rush through a quilt, just to rush through another one so I can say I made xxx amount of quilts this month/year.
I may only make 3/4 quilts a year, but I am proud of the quilts I make. Like all hobbies there are different levels of quilters,
and we all have our ideas on completing our quilts.
No one way is right or wrong, each quilter is as different as the next. As long as we all enjoy quilting. :D
