I'm currently working on a quilt called "Arctic Feathers," by Elizabeth Hartman. I love her patterns and I thought this would be the perfect quilt for my adult son's new house he's building. I even chose the same colors for my quilt that are in the picture:

Now, I'm not a person who quilts every day. I quilt when I feel like it, or when I have the time, or available electricity, or when it's not roasting hot in my little studio. So, when I do get down to quilting, I have to rethink what I was working on and get organized again.
Many times, I work on quilts that are repetitive motions, cutting the same squares and HSTs and chain piecing like a fiend. These kinds of quilts go fast and there's not much critical thinking going on. This quilt is different. There’s lots of similar squares that are just a 1/4' different in size, asymmetrical blocks, color coordination, etc. It's easy to mess up and have to redo things. The pattern looks so easy, but I’m finding that it's more challenging than I thought it would be. Still, I find it's good for my brain and mental health, so I'm glad that I've taken it on. It's a big quilt, so I should be pretty smart by the time I'm finished with it.
