I think that the "sporadic" or "mood" quilter is a perfect description of the art of quilting. At 65 (must be the baby boomer coming of age quilter) also, I earn the right to do "what" floats my boat. I have a stash full of what if's, when if's, and creative "wow, why did I every buy that", but it is what it is. I have a top ready to be sewn together, 4 quilts that should go to the long armer, 10 Quilt for Kids quilt fabric washed, and ready to be cut, a couple of Laurel Burch's that are next (mermaid and felines). Right now, I am in the "sewing quilter's block" and I am in the design phase. I have decided to do a quilt for the spare room, and am tearing apart all the bins for yellow and lime fabric. Maybe tomorrow the sewing machine siren will call me.
