I have three quilts like that now. I made the mistake of overcomplicating the quilting, when I really prefer the piecing... it's taking ages and making the quilts too stiff ... for two of them I can still change the plans to some simpler version, the other one I hope will soften up in the wash.Sara en Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15933081635835722346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-24844648684344652082018-06-12T20:00:08.168-04:002018-06-12T20:00:08.168-04:00I love your final layout!

Your only devotion is to the final product. It does not matter what it takes or how long it takes. Every step, every decision and every stitch is a pursuit of perfection. And I am in awe of you. When I find suitable adjectives for the Pineapple quilt top, I will return to comment.

I especially like this sentence in your post: "I am moving away from clutter and overscheduling and overcomplicating and working on simplifying my life right now. I've backed out of some commitments that were taking up too much of my time and energy." Relax! <br /><br />I've just gone through a stack of magazines and other odds and ends your M-I-L had next to her bed. They are in the trash right now. Lots of quilting mags and other things that never got acted on. Life is short and we can only do so much.

Yes we may enjoy all the tasks we commit to and find them worthwhile but at some point we discover balance is necessary. We can’t do it all. We each need our personal time as well as family time. Love the pineapple blocks and looking forward to your finish.

And, I think it will give you more colors to choose from for pillow shams or just pillows on top of the bed. I'm looking forward to seeing the "real deal" rather than the EQ pic. Get hopping girl... there is a graduation quilt waiting to be done. (but don't stress!) And, remember, some dorm bedrooms have extra long twin beds in them.

This is a hobby for the long haul so put the border idea in your data bank for a time when commitments are fewer and time is more abundant. That way you can keep going into your 90's!Dogwood Lane Rambleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11325307035803155779noreply@blogger.com
