I am so "just in the process" that I am unmotivated right now and haven't really quilted for a while. I am waiting patiently for my motivation to come back. I think I lost my motivation when I found out I "HAD" to make a baby quilt for my favorite niece. That changed my game. Now I wasn't quilting what I wanted to. I had to pick out fabric she liked (which is nice fabric) and a baby quilt pattern (which I've never done). So, all the fabric and pattern are on my ironing board and have been for a couple of months and I've only done BOMs. I stopped quilting because this isn't a choice. It's a MUST. I don't work under pressure. I know that it has to be totally finished by December and I don't do bindings very much, so I know this will happen at the last minute. I even know that I will machine quilt it (for the first time ever) because I won't find a LAer who will find the time to whip it out for me in time. And I know I am doing this to myself a head of time. I know I am putting myself in this predicament way ahead of time. And I'll remember saying it, too.
