Thank you for this lovely article, every word is true. I especially liked your words about charity quilts. I was part of a group (for one day) that made some quilts I would only give to my dogs. They were just pieces of fabric cut in yard squares with no design at all, mostly floral fabric. I am in the process of cleaning out my fabric, I finally got the message that Less is More. I have several places to send it and also our local Goodwill has told me they will sell my fabric. Almost all of the fabric I want to give away is fabric I got through thrift stores when I started quilting and had no stash. Now I know what I will make and what I will never make (Venus Flytrap for sure !). Thanks again.
