It was so fun to get so much feedback yesterday on what quilt project you all would have me work on. I have to laugh at myself and tell you a bit about me.
Back in the day when I was in high school and college and had to study, I was pretty disciplined with myself. I had a set time when I studied or worked on my term projects. However, if my room was untidy, I had to clean it up first before I allowed myself to sit down and do my work. I was OCD enough that anything amiss in my environment was a distraction and I had to take care of it before buckling down to anything else. Forget about skipping out on my study session to hang out with friends or otherwise fool around. Responsibilities first, then I could focus on the next thing.
My daughter's quilt for her friend is kind of like that. I have other things I want/need to be working on, but I just have to get this one out of the way before I move on. Don't misunderstand: I really am enjoying making this quilt, which is a bit different than the things I usually work on. And I will be thrilled to have participated in making something that someone special will enjoy. I have just over half the blocks done and hope to finish all of them this week. Then she can help me sew the rows together and cut out the border fabric. This project will be finished over the next week or so and then…
I will move on to Jacob's Ladder!

I marvel at how productive you are in your sewing room! All those blocks just since yesterday. While taking care of your grandchild. And you have a job too. You are a dynamo!

Good decision! I love the new blocks, the look of this interesting quilt and the fact that it’s a gift means it’s good for it to go first. Lucky recipient!!
Unlike you, I can let things go to a degree while I get on with what I want to do or need to do. DH says I’m a “gatherer” and am happiest when surrounded by things I love. Perhaps this is why you fly thru cutting and sewing with delight and I go more slowly and stop to do other things. My greatest foible is that I interrupt myself when doing one thing to start or do another. Sigh!
We still have lots of last week’s snow and may get 3″-5″ more tonight. Uncle!
Hugs!

Like all the projects you work on and show to us. But, I like that you can get your ducks in order and proceed. I always have more than one project going at a time, one needs binding stitching, one is being cut out and one needs a gillion pieces stitched together. I don’t think I’m compulsive but just like a job, I like to do a combination of tasks, not just repeat, repeat, repeat. What you are working on looks a little complicated. Good for you getting that one done first.
