I don’t know about you, but sometimes I think too much about finding the perfect solution to a problem or the “right” way to finish a quilt. There really can be many good solutions. When I couldn’t decide which layout I liked best for these string pieced blocks, I made two different quilts. And you know what, I like BOTH of them. It is easy to get bogged down in finding the best path forward and forget that any path will keep us moving and making new discoveries. .
I have successfully used up the bright, colorful solid scraps! Whoop! I am looking at what’s left and I can tell you that pile is not my favorite. It’s mostly browns, greys, and some dusty rose. They do, however, all fit in my mom’s old train case so that’s progress.
My home sewing room is next to the kitchen and does not have a door that closes. Sometimes I like that I feel a part of what’s going on in the rest of the house, sometimes I want uninterrupted concentration time. I guess this is why I have sound canceling head phones.
