I have learned life is too short to waste my time on quilts I don't like. That's why I never do mystery quilts. If I don't know what the end result will look like and whether my fabric choices will work, I don't want to invest my time in it. I have also learned to let go of something that isn't pleasing me. If I take a class and decide I really don't care for the technique or the finished product, I have learned to let it go. That doesn't always mean pitching it out. A lot of unworthy projects turn into cute little doll quilts for donating to the Salvation Army doll drive.
