You sometimes get into a novel and can't put it down, and then some chapters are longer, and harder to understand. Where as a short story is straight to the point usually. That is the way I feel about many of my projects.

And who said it has to be a full size quilt. A cute runner or table topper is good too. It will be a beautiful piece whatever the size when done.

Now, its more about how I want to make the quilt. One of the reasons I don't like borders on quilts I think they are often used just to get it finished so the quilter can move on to the next project. For me it is more about how the quilt will look when it is finished, I want something that makes me smile!!!!!Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-43408188457085979192015-08-16T15:00:35.418-04:002015-08-16T15:00:35.418-04:00Responded to your thoughts on my blog.

I have made three and about to start the fourth. They are fun and I can see making more of these blocks in the future. I enjoy your Slow Sunday Stitching blogs. Thank you for hosting this every week. Quilting does create mindful attributes of patience and meditation . I agree with your thoughts.

I have a crewel calendar that took me 3 years to complete. I got married in the interim. Currently, I only have one really long term project in progress and that is a large cross-stitch that I have been working on for over a year. It is not quite at the halfway point yet. I am committed to finishing all of my projects. I just need a few smaller ones to keep me going. I love your pumpkin seeds. I enjoy watching the colors emerge.

I had hoped to have it finished by Christmas... but now I am shooting for NEXT Christmas! lol <br />I love your orange peels... enjoy the journey I say! And I think overall hand quilters/piecers are a more relaxed group of folks... or we just like keeping our hands busy! lol<br />Have a blessed slow stitching day! I have computer issues so no blog post for me this weekend... I am slow stitching a memory quilt for a friend and making nice progress today :)<br />KathiCreated by Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609881362551916055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-47359063990641353322015-08-16T06:09:35.583-04:002015-08-16T06:09:35.583-04:00This has really grown ...such a pretty project for...This has really grown ...such a pretty project for hand stitching and the rainbow project :) Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.com
