Once I finished placing the pieces for G5 last night, I had a hard time being totally satisfied with the whole thing. To me it was an utter disappointment in colorwork. G5 came together like gangbusters for the first fifty pieces or so, but quickly went sour, taking far too long for the final twenty to thirty inches.
Don't get me wrong, I was glad to be done but it wasn't a triumphant feeling.
Perhaps I'll feel more charitable after it's stitched together and in place beside G4 - and under F5. Golly, I hope that's the case, because right now I am just not a happy quiltmaker. Let's see what the daylight tells me (shows me) and go from there.
Me
I am an architect of words and fabric
- Beth
- Michigan, United States
- I am a continuously re-invented person, having mastered the art of 'making lemonade' - sometimes minus the lemons. There are dreams as yet unrealized, talents tapped but not exhibited, and a desire for more time to get it all done. My family is small but precious to me. Two gorgeous sons and three darling cats share my home, along with a mountainous stash I am working my way through. (As of Sept 2015, only one of our sweet kitties survives.) There are two constants in my life, God and quilting, and more than ever over the last four years, I have turned to both to carry me over and through the rest of it. 1quiltingb@gmail.com
