Process, for me, can be a killer. I want everything to move smoothly along until I finish, then I want to hang the quilt up and move to the next project. When that happens, though, the project is often boring and uninteresting. The humps are the interesting part.
Earlier this week, I wanted you all to put me out of my misery on the Jelly Roll Race. I was struggling, I was ripping out a lot, I was not happy. Nobody stepped up to the plate to help out, so I powered through. I did something that I don’t normally do:I sewed a little bit in the evenings. I was able to fill in a major missing chunk and somehow that made the whole project come together in part.
Don’t get me wrong. I still have a long way to go on this quilt, but I am making progress. I don’t feel tortured anymore and have some home that I’ll make more progress this weekend.
Gee, Jaye, if I had known that you wanted to be put out of your misery, I would have told you to pack it up and mail it to me!
hahahaha!!! I’ll be clearer next time. 😉
I’m glad you’re powering through – it’s looking great and I think you’re going to be really happy with it when you’re done!
Thanks! No more vast quantities of UFOs for me. There will always be a few, but 20+ is too many.
