Still working on bottom right building

I feel like I’ll never get it done. I quilt for about an hour or an hour and a half and then can’t take it anymore. I know that it will eventually be done, but it’s so tedious. I still have a long way to go on it. I’ve even simplified things like the windows and even then there’s a lot to quilt. 


I think the biggest thing I’ve learned from making this quilt is not to make one this big again. What sounds like a good idea when I start an idea is not fun in the end!

Thanks for reading.

  1. Major projects require major commitments. Sometimes we are "up" for them, other times, we simply don't have the stamina to see thrm through as we once hoped. Taking periodic time off, playing with the kitties, relaxing, designing new projects all can all help! Be kind to yourself. It is a magnificent piece and will one day be behind you and winning contests.

  2. The size did allow for a lot of detail, and it's all that detail you are paying for now. Glad to hear you've figured ways to simplify a bit. Setting a deadline a ways in the future also good so you don't feel so rushed. As Pat suggested, breaks to do other things should help. Hang in there.
