Sometimes, I want to make a quilt and need to feel I have accomplished something. Since I work full-time, outside the home, my quilting time is limited, so I will often choose to make something that goes fast. Other times, I want a project that I can "get lost in" and choose a more complicated quilt. Then, there are times I am possessed by a creative monster and do something intuitive, without any forethought, and sew around the clock! Just depends on my mood. I like having options, and I really like having simpler quilts, with time-saving techniques, to teach to my non-quilting friends! These are such a great way to broaden our community!
