(I'm always concerned I'll end up with a wavy quilt.)<br /><br />Staying the course is so much easier for me when I love the quilt -- the blocks, the fabric, the colors, etc. When I'm hesitant or not completely committed to what I'm doing, it's so much easier to lay it aside. Moving from one project to another is so much more interesting for blog readers, though. There's always something new and interesting to see when quilt bloggers move between projects. (Unfortunately, I'm staying the course with the star quilt I'm working on and it must be agonizing for my few readers to see so many variations on the theme of this star quilt with scrappy backgrounds).<br /><br />Thanks so much for hosting Slow Sunday Stitching.<br /><br />Nancy.

For some reason, although I love hand stitching, I intensely dislike hand stitching the binding of a quilt. It might be that by the time I get to that stage, I just want it to be done. I’ll be working on La Passacaglia again today.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392533321876710743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-86132491369539686542016-01-31T11:38:29.182-05:002016-01-31T11:38:29.182-05:00Enjoy stitching the binding on, how nice to have a...Enjoy stitching the binding on, how nice to have a UFO near complete.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013807144091997698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-51037750704701049622016-01-31T10:56:15.054-05:002016-01-31T10:56:15.054-05:00I love to sit and hand stitch binding also.
