Some thing in life are just too important to rush. Since I finished my daughter's quilt I thought I would get out the quilt top my mom recently gave me to see how big it is. It was a top my Mom Mom pieced.
As I spread it out over my bed the familiar but long lost smell of my Mom Mom's house greeted me. Oh the memories! I just wanted to wrap up in it and feel her close to me again. I always held her in such wonder. She passes when I was 17. Oh how I loved her. Being in her house and seeing all the beautiful things she made was more awe inspiring than any trip to a museum ever!
In that moment I realized that even though I would love to finish the quilt, I am not ready yet. You see, I am new to quilting and am not sure I could do it justice yet. Better to practice and grow in my ability before working on such a special project. So for now I will fold it back up and store it lovingly.
It's very pretty. As a new quilter myself I can fully appreciate you not wanting to work on it just yet.
