OK walk away moment
#42
I usually am not smart enough to walk away or wait a day to get things right. I have stayed up really late before trying to get quilt pieces to do what I want them to do. Sometimes I totally have to give up, My oldest Daughter says I like to bang my head into a brick wall before I stop. Guess it is true. I hate giving into anything until forced to. Mule comes to mind when I think of myself, as in stubborn as a.........

It isn't just the quilt that you have to walk away from, some days. I have been wrestling with figuring out fabric requirements for a specific quilt pattern, for several days. It doesn't help that I have a choice of 2 sizes of blocks and a VERY finite amount of 2 of the fabrics required. I have awakened at 4 am, with how many strips of this and blocks of that running thru my head....it is definitely preying on my mind. Sure hope I come to a definite decision soon. I could use some sleep!!

Well it all worked out. I put the "Litle Brother" in time out, told him I had choices of machines to use and usually he was my starter. If he could behave I would keep him in the starting lineup. He said he would do his best, and he did.
Reread the instructions a time or two, and just like we all learn differently and arrive at the same conclusion, so was this. I had to sit and piece it my way in succesion and chain piecing so repetitive sewing worked for me. I got it all put together.
And the smoke and Diet DP did help, so did feeding the DH and dogs and putting everyone to bed. And sewed until 1:30 this am. Quiet time....priceless!!!! Thanks again for hearing me out and glad sometimes to know we all get in the same boat.........may this weekend bring many wonderful hours of sewing for all!!!!
