When I started quilting, it was almost exclusively for Project Linus -- simple quilts that provided me with much practice. As my skills have increased, I enjoy taking on more challenging projects, and now most of the quilts that are time consuming go to a different annual charity quilt auction with a few going to family. I also like to make quilts for the fair before donating them, and I work hard on reaching high standards on those.
What I don't enjoy doing now is the "mending" and the "getting ready" projects for Linus and guild charity. I know that the time spent on this is well worth it, because it moves the process along. But now I want to work on my next challenging quilt and am planning the one after that. These other little things get in the way.
