I buy all the quilting classes on Craftsy and watch them all the way through. I find I understand the techniques and "think" I could compete the quilts they show but I have yet to do that. I have only completed one lap quilt and have another top on my design wall. What is wrong with me? I have the desire and all the tools but I can't make myself complete quilts. I believe it is the perfectionist in me. I'm afraid my quilts won't be "perfect". I think I need an intervention.

I was just thinking about this same thing......but, in my case, it's the dry heat causing me to want to do nothing around here! It got up to 111 deg. yesterday, and in Alabama, that's unusual in June. We haven't had any rain in over 3 weeks, and it's been at least that long since I've had any desire to do any sewing.....the heat just drains any energy I ever thought I might have!
