Have you ever had a quilt pattern you hesitate to start because it's out of your comfort zone?

Next, I have to trace the pieced paper template shape onto cardstock. Plastic template sheets aren't large enough to use for these large shapes. I thought about freezer paper vs. cardstock. I am making a rainbow quilt for my soon to be granddaughter. I will trace the Rainbow Arc templates onto fabric and cut them out. I will be sewing curves, so wish me luck.
Just heard something interesting about “comfort zone”. Term refers to temp that is neither hot nor cold, or “luck”. For food that could be boring. For enthusiasm could be boring. Maybe getting out of comfort zone could be challenging and exciting.

If you don’t like Bible, please skip this. Rev 3:10 says “because you are lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth.”

So, a little challenge might be good. Just not scalding hot.
