I Spy...YIKES! (and she runs the other way...)

I have been avoiding this I Spy Quilt...yup...I have been avoiding my sewing room all together because I really don't want to face this!  I'm just not enjoying the process...

So much matching...so fiddly....so time sucking...I was pinning and repining trying to get the stars perfect...when I had an "aha" moment.  Will the little guy who this is going to, REALLY notice that the stars aren't perfect?  Nope...he is going to be looking for the ducky or the pigs or the Superman....not checking to see if the the stars are perfect!


  SEW to heck with the matching...I'm going to get 'er done!  Come hell or high water this one is going to get done once and for all!

My goal for this week...to finish this top by WEDNESDAY!  There I have said it...out LOUD!  Don't you hate when one project can prevent you from 'moving on' to something new...or even...prevent you from revisiting something old, like a UFO...Gawd forbid...did I just say THAT?  :o))

Have a Sunny Sunday and Happy B..Stitching!~P

  1. Glad you got that off your chest! (grin) It's good for your mental health and now you can proceed. AND you are going to have a "finish" to show for it. Congratulations! Not only have you helped yourself, you've helped ALL of us. Thank you. (grin again)

  3. Know how you feel I have a sewing project and it should really be easy and I am avoiding it. The project is "heart pillows" it is just not coming out correctly. It will get done.

  4. I made an I Spy quilt a few years ago and my grandkids love looking at it so much! You're right - they'll never notice if the seams don't match perfectly!

  10. Good attitude! Now what can I tell myself to get motivated on the beast of a T-shirt quilt on my design wall?
