I usually take a break while I'm doing a quilt, a twin size. For instance, I'm about to finish a geometric black, gray, red, with some white. I've been working on it for about 2 months. Maybe I'm getting tired of looking at those colors and all the black thread! I did some hand quilting on it for the sake of adding some hand quilting, and I did a grid in some areas with stitch in the ditch in other places.
They say with every quilt you learn something. Well, I learned that I should have used dark gray instead of black thread for this project...black is so unforgiving...it's right out there!
So, at the rate I quilt, I won't get tired of quilting. I'm making a quilt for each grandchild. I look forward to making the next quilt which will have bright and varied colors...a relief from the black and red.
You all enjoy your hobby. Blessings for the new year!
