And Today's Lesson Would Be?

Today's lesson for yours truly would be this. I need to listen to my inner critic. She is loud and she is clear so my ability to ignore her and beaver on like the little fool that I am just causes me a lot more work in the long run. When the inner critic says, 'Okay, it was an idea. But it really isn't working out very well after all,' I need to listen!

Then I wouldn't put lots more work into this -

Which is now going to lead to lots of time spent with this little doohickey -

I am too stubborn for my own good. The inner critic was virtually screaming at me that it wasn't looking good. It was not working the way I wanted it to. But it was my idea and I was going to stick to it. Yeah, that's me, the fool. Because when I eventually finished piecing the entire quilt top today and laid it out for the final time I realised that critic of mine was so right. What I have done sucks. It is so mind boggling bad that I am not going to take a picture of it because I would be able to hear the laughter without the aid of electronic equipment.  So yards of stitching to pull out before I can try again, a different way, to piece together the simple blocks I made.

I am not going to do it tonight. I would rather roll balls of wool. That about sums it up.
