Sometimes it’s good to ‘stop and smell the roses’ or ‘stop and look at some of the quilts’ that are around the house. I took inventory of the quilts I have around the house and put a few in my favorite ‘quilt storage place’ (on the bed in our spare room) replacing them with some that have been in storage for a while. {As you probably know. this is really the best way to store quilts. If quilts are folded for long periods of time they tend to develop permanent creases. If a quilt cannot be stored completely flat it should be refolded a different way periodically.}
One of my projects has hung on my wall in my sewing area for some time now. This particular project was a guild challenge that was really out of my comfort zone. (Brights instead of the earth-tone fabrics I normally pick.) I really had to force myself to complete the project to use the fabric. I really didn’t like the bright challenge fabric.
When finally completed I was committed to find a use for it. Actually it makes a perfect background for the quilt pins I’ve collected over the years.
I think it works!
There is always time to quilt!
