I lost my motivation, so since I had 5 quilts started, I was committed. I forced myself to do at least one (little) thing a day. Even if I had to fire up my sewing machine or iron for just one strip, I would at least do that much. Pretty soon I was staying longer and longer in my sewing rooms. (one room for cutting, one for sewing.) Pretty soon my motivation returned and I was looking forward to working on them once again.
