Quilt

Over two years ago I took a quilt design and modified it fairly significantly. Since then I have been working (very much on and off) on the quilt. All the pieces are now appliquéd, and last night I spent the time to iron them and arrange them as the design did not dictate the exact location of each square. Before I pile them in order to be sewn together, I took a picture. Here it is.

In case you are wondering why it has taken me so long to get the squares done, my philosophy on hobbies is that they should not be a burden and drag me down, so I indulge when I feel like it moving from one project to another with at least five going at any one time. They generally, eventually, get done with me having enjoyed myself along the way. Sometimes they are born from an urge, a need, to create. Sometimes they are born as I work through frustration, anger, joy, disappointment, or elation. Some of these hobbies, or ‘creations’, come together fast, and others take much time. Some are not good enough or too personal to share, others are for sharing and for gifting to others. Though I am not an artist, these creations are very much a piece of where I am, so some will be shared here. As for this quilt, I’m sure pictures will appear as it slowly continues to come together.
