I began this quilt yesterday and as it usually goes, the beginning is kind of slow. There's lots to deal with such as stabilizing the whole thing, deciding what color thread to use where, the best designs to fit in the right spot, time to ponder the sewing order to minimize changing thread constantly and much more work than you ever would think about. The story of the ugly duckling comes to mind when I look at all the ruffles and excess fabric in places, and what to do with warped borders... It may not be a very good looking job at this point, but I never lose heart...from past experience, it usually comes out in the end. I thought I'd give you a glimpse into my life and the point of "agony of defeat" in this process. I will wait for the "thrill of victory" in a few days. Meantime, I plod away, chomping at it bit by bit.
