Attention span - - -
After learning a new technique -
Do you feel that you have to "do something" with it?
or
Are you okay with - "Okay, I know how to do that" - and not "do something" with it?
I hate to admit I'm in the second group, but I am.

I don't necessarily have to 'do something' with a new technique or method but I do have to repeat it several times for it to 'stick' (pp'ing comes to mind). But I'm usually working on a new quilt when that situation applies so I suppose I do end up 'doing something' with it after all.

I don't spend time learning new quilting techniques unless I intend to put them to practical use...usually right then and there. I don't think I'd ever claim that I knew how to do something if I hadn't used it in a finished project of some sort.

I like learning new things, but I don't feel that I have to use them, maybe I will eventually. I went to a class on trapunto, I have no plans to use what I learnt but I enjoyed the class, and now I feel that I now have another skill if I ever feel that I might need it.

I think this is where I went wrong a long time ago. Every new class I took, I went wild with starting a new project using that skill. And those new skills usually require certain supplies and tools. And then the UFOs stack up. Well, some of you know the drill.....
