Let's say 2% inspiration and 98% repetitive technical tasks which, once you have mastered them, require only moderated attention. That makes quilting a REALLY GOOD craft for people who enjoy listening closely to music, who listen to literature, who learn by listening (e.g. to recorded lectures), or who enjoy the less demanding forms of filmed entertainment. All four apply to me, so it's a great fit -- making a quilt takes a lot of time (although not nearly as much as it used to!) but I'm never JUST quilting.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-14545327728122154952013-04-22T18:30:55.431-07:002013-04-22T18:30:55.431-07:00Looks great!

Maybe it's not for me after all--too impatient! Then again, maybe I was just overly daunted and unsure what to do after finishing the top. Your pinning post made me at least think about it again.pflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866574024138674337noreply@blogger.com
