What motivates me is the happiness I see in the eye of the person I gifted the quilt to. And I love going to someones house and seeing it on the back of the couch, or scrunched up as a pillow for someones head. I guess I just like knowing I gave something that gets used and loved. And on one ocassion I had a grandchild bring me a well-loved quilt begging me to fix it again. The darn thing was almost thread bare. That ocassion turned into a fun trip to the LQS and a whole new project for me and another opportunity for me to see the happiness in the eyes of that grandchild. I guess I love to quilt. :-)
I sure hope you can find something that motivates you to keep on with the process and create something beautiful. When I make a mistake sometimes I don't fix it intentionally...I remind my self that it is handmade and all is good. Whatever you create is part of you, love it and enjoy it.
