365 Days of Quilting

I see that it's been longer than I realized. Unfortunately, something stopped me from quilting, so I had to put it to the side, and I haven't picked it up since.

Just after Thanksgiving I picked it up, though. I picked it up to look at it and regret for not having it finished by now. Sure, I was going slow - only about 2 five-inch blocks a day, but I was moving toward the goal. Even as slow as that, I would be on a second quilt by now.

So, I've decided to try this: Do some quilting every day for a full year, and post a picture and blog of what and how well I did that day. Typically, I don't keep to these kinds of long term goals (like New Year's Resolutions), but it's good to make goals and I will definitely try.

I'm going to give myself room to fail the "every day" part, at least in the posting. I'm allowing to miss one day a week on posting, but missing only five total of quilting in 365 days. That's a little more than 1%. Am I being kind enough to myself?

I don't know when I'll start. It won't have to be on January 1. I may start before or after, but I will commit myself to do some quilting every day for 365 days, even if it's not on this same quilt. I will travel some and I'll need something small, like piecing, that I can take.

So, stay tuned!
