Once You Start A Quilt,Do You
#22
I try out one block first. Like for a recent graduation quilt, I made my main blocks in 4 different fabric combinations until I decided on one I liked. Life's too short to spend all that time working on something that doesn't make you happy.
But once I make that decision, I have followed thru to the end. So far, no unfinished tops (But, I've only been at it for a year!)

I just made three blocks and i told my DH that there is no way i am making more! They are the ugliest things i have ever seen. haha I hid them in the back room were hopefully they will get lost never to be seen again. Tried again with different colors and i am almost done with the top.Much better.

I still have a shaded 9P that I've not finished-it's been boxed for years. I also sewed together a 9P, hated it-ended up one toned so I ripped out seams here and there added new squares and for 2 different throws to repurpose the blocks.

I really try to visualize it for a long time before I start. If it bothers me visually then I won't start it. I don't think I ever really gave up on a quilt. I would just put it away for a while and sometimes a long while then I would try it again.
