Quilting is the New Owl Sweater
Fourteen blocks done. That means I still need to make 49 more. Good grief. When I get done, I am going to put on my Owl Sweater and cover up with my quilt and stay that way forever. Maybe I'll put on the quilt like a queen's robe thingy, and walk all around town. Quilting is HARD! And it takes a really REALLY long time. It's like climbing a mountain. I just want to get to the top, man.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
But it was probably built faster than this quilt.
The weekend was good. Yesterday was the first day of Fall, so we rode our bikes to the winery and had a picnic. So much fun. And Daphne was so proud of herself!
I love Fall. Fall means sweaters and soup. SOUP! Yay!

This post cracked me up!
It's totally up to you, but: are you doing this because you (a) enjoy the process, (b) really want the outcome, or (c) just because you started it, so you feel you can't quit.
As a middle-aged person, I've come to realize that "a" and "b" make sense -- but "c" typically isn't worth it. I remember quitting the wrestling team in 9th grade, about three weeks into the practice season, just because it was taking up SOOO much time and I just wasn't enjoying it. The coach said that I should stick it out at least through that season, and I'd regret it if I quit. Nope! I quit, never looked back, and NEVER regretted it.
If quilting sucks, then... stop? :)

Another option, of course, is to scale back the project so that you can still make use of what you have -- e.g. a lap quilt?
