Oops! It has been far too long since I last wrote. I debated closing down the site, and decided I need to give this one more try. I want to do this for myself as much as for anyone who happens to read this.
I love to write and I love to quilt. There are other things I love too, please don't get me wrong, but this is a creative outlet that supports my desire to write and encourages me to quilt. It is never too late to start over, start again, or start to further your goals. This is true of quilting, blogging and life. So, let's start with a challenge for myself: to create and post a weekly update for this blog. Each week I will give an update to this blog and let's see where this journey goes.
Oops! My latest project is a mystery quilt that was designed and run by our local quilt guild. There was a number of 4 patch blocks that were included in the design and the layout would create a chain. If you look closely, you'll see the challenge I created for myself (what others might call a "mistake") in the layout of my 4 patch blocks.
To leave it or to correct it - that is the challenge! I decided that now that I noticed it, it would drive me crazy and be the only thing I saw if I left it there. I decided to rip out the 4 seams that attached the block to the quilt, and re-sew it in the correct position. The results....well, lets save that for our next installment!
Have you ever created a challenge for yourself in your quilting? How did you handle the challenge?
