Tonight's profoundidity. I was wandering through an old QNM and sort of read an article entitled 'How long did that take?', a question that pops up often along our quilting journey. The writer decided that every quilt we create has the benefit of every quilt beforehand. "Yes," I thought, "that is so true." There might be one or two along the way where we learn nothing, but usually we improve a skill or make a mistake and bring that along with us to the next endeavor. Might even carry it with us over to dressmaking or arranging a bouquet. So. I was just looking at the latest crib quilt here. The points are every one absolutely perfect. The colors: pure white, dark blue and tomato red - dazzling. I used gray thread when I joined the white pieces. It shows. Everytime I made that mistake, it shows. Baby won't care but I won't ever do that again. The next quilt won't take as long as this one did. Polly
