I force myself to start and from there things just take off and I usually enjoy the rest of the journey.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586690601995058185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682097898709478975.post-84672800138124005822010-12-07T12:23:53.871+08:002010-12-07T12:23:53.871+08:00Shari, it was a very special quilt to make..I can ...Shari, it was a very special quilt to make..I can understand your concern to start on it, and have it just right..I think you did a great job, it must have been hard and sad at times to work on it and think of who the shirts belonged to...<br />I admire you for doing that, the family now have something of Ron to treasure forever..<br />In the end it came from within your heart..<br />Julia ♥Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207957464039686839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682097898709478975.post-63796098478964604242010-12-07T11:13:28.939+08:002010-12-07T11:13:28.939+08:00Well, I believe some people are starters, some lik...Well, I believe some people are starters, some like to gather things like fabirc, some are hoarders, some are thinkers and like to dream and think about projects...not just quilting projects....some of us are finishers. Whatever we are, I believe it is how our brain works....nothing wrong or crazy about being a starter...if you like to start projects. Start all you want...send them on to someone else and stop worrying about them. You enjoyed the part of the journey that makes you happy. If you are a gather, gather and be happy. If you are a finisher, you will finish things and feel satified.<br />However, the worrying about starting is a different. You can ask yourself. "What is the worst thing that could happen?" Then see if you can live with the worst case senario. If you can, then proceed.... Don't worry so much....(getting down off the soap box now!)Sheri Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839685166159856348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682097898709478975.post-17876489140655168942010-12-07T10:01:32.309+08:002010-12-07T10:01:32.309+08:00That is a beautiful picture, Shari.

I have that when I'm doing a commission [I don't do many!] - I'm terrified to cut into someone else's fabric. Of course, you had the added stress of this being tied to the loss of a loved one. I think you were not just making a quilt, but working through grief, and everyone else's grief too. You knew what the quilt would mean to them.<br /><br />The key, for me, in breaking through barriers is to just "show up". I usually wait for inspiration before I make a move, and I can wait forever. If I just show up to the cutting table, and start, inspiration is sure to follow. There have been times when I've regretted what I've done though - that's why I procrastinate when it's somebody else's fabric.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682097898709478975.post-73688341966224955142010-12-07T09:42:30.827+08:002010-12-07T09:42:30.827+08:00You know, I am a kind of just go for it girl.

They were all double knit! So I just started to cut squares and was able to make 4 twin quilts from the clothes!<br /><br />What you made is wonderful and something she will cherish forever. Great job.Jane's Fabrics and Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317443286432117072noreply@blogger.com
