When I took Helena's classes she did warn us that we could become bored with fabric on our projects. I hit the IM BORED Wall with this quilt pattern. I am really BORED. At first I thought it would be interesting to cut curves (I like geometrics, I love batiks and different shapes). The Funkier the better in my book.
I loved learning the technique to do these funky blocks, but 3/4 of the way through the block assembly, I AM REALLY BORED WITH IT!!!!!!!!!
I am not really into traditional quilting or reproduction fabrics. It took me about 15 months to finish my pile of quilt blocks for Wendy's quilt. I got bored, so I worked on them to pass the time, while hoping I got another burst of creative thoughts. Maybe I have Quilters ADD....
I am now bored with my pile of Fat Quarters, and curvy funky stars. Thank god I did not commit to having a full size bed quilt top here. I would go batty!!
I have tried infusing other colors and to me this still does not feel right. Ah well, back to my Best Press Starch and Cutting toys to finish this quilt top off once and for all..... Pics later......
You have my sympathies. I know how we get so excited and then ughhh! Away it goes into a maybe sometime in the distant future box.
ReplyDeleteas long as you are not too bored to teach me how to do it ... we will be gravy here.
ReplyDeleteI know about being bored ... I have a stack of 9" blocks that need quilted before I can try a new QAYG method and I have less than 6 done and am bored. maybe if I switch off on what stitch I am using to quilt the blocks with.
