Procrastination

Yes…..I procrastinate. And I HATE IT!!

Especially when I realize that my concerns were not valid and that I should have just DONE IT!!

In this case, it was quilting this simple charity quilt……

So….why the delay????

It started when I received the top…..

I walked into our Charity Bee meeting to take a couple of quilt tops home to use for practicing Free-Motion Quilting. Most of our (hundreds) of donated quilts are quickly finished on a volunteer’s longarm machine, but they are always elated when someone else wants to tackle one or two.

The first one I was handed was smaller, and I knew that I could complete it in a heartbeat, but this one was larger, and I didn’t immediately see a quilting design!!

So, it was relegated to the “do later” pile…..ie….pitched in the corner between my two fabric shelves…. AND FORGOTTEN!!

Well, not completely forgotten…..it was still on my To-Do List!!

So, a few weeks ago I decided that IT WAS TIME…..the deed MUST be done!!

And, as with most of my procrastinated projects, this one was fun, easy, and I was able to finish it using my 20-minute per morning creative sessions.

And look how great the quilting is……

I will now deliver this back to the group and grab one or two MORE tops.

Maybe I won’t procrastinate…..but I wouldn’t bet on it!!

Do you struggle with procrastination???

How do you avoid it?
