Lately I've been feeling discouraged about my quilt. I haven't been keeping up with the two-squares-per-week goal, and I'm feeling like the quilt will never be finished. Plus, while I was home, I walked into the studio to find three beautiful quilts laid out on the floor in various states of assembly. My mother and sister have been hard at work and will definitely be growing their piles of quilts faster than I. Although Susie and I have been reminding ourselves that we have our whole lives to keep sewing and knitting and don't need to accomplish every project next week, I was still feeling the project was a little hopeless.
However, Friday night Susie stopped by to knit while I pieced some blocks that have been laid our for almost a month now, and she asked to see all my finished squares. I told her that I may use my fabric and choose a new simpler quilt pattern that I can finish more quickly. But, I laid them all out on the floor, fourteen in all, and I love them. I am very excited for the beautiful quilt they will become. It may take a year or two, so I won't stop myself from other projects (perhaps, a baby quilt next summer), but I am committed to slowly but surely finishing my Farmer's Wife Quilt.
