    I love the whole process. To think that you can take a few yards of fabric, cut it up in smaller pieces, sew it back together again into something that is totally awesome just amazes me every time I do it. The only part im not crazy about is putting on the label.

    I guess some folks are just "driven" to do everything fast! Some seem not to be able to slow down and smell the roses. I am not one of those types. I enjoy the process and I may take years to finish a quilt (while working on other things.)

    I always want to get the quilt done because I have so many in my mind. However, I enjoy every step of every quilt. It isn't a race for me as much as the fact that I am obsessive/compulsive.

    I enjoy the whole process and don't have anything to prove to anybody. If I finish it today, great! I can start on another project. If not, I'll start another one when I finish this one. I don't want to get there so fast that I miss the scenery along the way!

    I enjoy the whole process....I don't sew the the devil is on my tail, because I try to be as good as I can be, with nice straight 1/4" seam. I like my pieces to meet in my seams, I like the points on my stars to meet, I like my blocks to be all the same size and sew together straight. It is wasn't pleasure for me, I wouldn't do it. It is the same for me with cooking and presenting a beautiful plate of food for my family, and caring for my garden so my roses bloom and my fruit trees give me beauitful lemons and apples.....Stop and smell the roses, for tomorrow you may not be able to...................

    When I have finished a quilt I feel very much like I do when I have read a mystery book that has kept me inthralled with every page and even though I am looking forward to the end when I will find out "who done it" I am sad to be finished with it. Yes, we look forward to finishing a project - wall hanging, quilt, or whatever - but the process from start (picking out what to work with), how to put it together, how to make it special, and then the final steps making a quilt or finished project --- all those parts are vital to the enjoyment of the finished product to me. Just MHO.

    I am so "just in the process" that I am unmotivated right now and haven't really quilted for a while. I am waiting patiently for my motivation to come back. I think I lost my motivation when I found out I "HAD" to make a baby quilt for my favorite niece. That changed my game. Now I wasn't quilting what I wanted to. I had to pick out fabric she liked (which is nice fabric) and a baby quilt pattern (which I've never done). So, all the fabric and pattern are on my ironing board and have been for a couple of months and I've only done BOMs. I stopped quilting because this isn't a choice. It's a MUST. I don't work under pressure. I know that it has to be totally finished by December and I don't do bindings very much, so I know this will happen at the last minute. I even know that I will machine quilt it (for the first time ever) because I won't find a LAer who will find the time to whip it out for me in time. And I know I am doing this to myself a head of time. I know I am putting myself in this predicament way ahead of time. And I'll remember saying it, too.
