Default quilting blind spots

Hi y'all,

I'm wondering if any of you have "quilting blind spots". There are several things that I do the same way every time, even though each time I say to myself (usually when I am halfway done) "Wow, this would have been much easier if I had done it this other way!" My current example is SITD around some stars: I carefully thought it out beforehand so that I could approximate continuous line quilting...but once I started quilting I reverted immediately to the (laborious) way I always do it, with a gazillion threads to bury. It's as if my brain will only allow me to do certain things one way.

Anyone else have examples of this?

Alison
