The fifth quilt in this series took me quite a while to work on and finish. Because this was not a traditional design, I really struggled with the worry about not making something that needed to be thrown on the burn pile immediately. The turning point was really when I just decided to treat this quilt like the others: a learning experience. Instead of just learning about a sewing technique, this time I had to stretch half a step further and come up with my own way to try to convey the beauty of the riparian area along the John Day River.
The trick to all of this is really to remind myself that, while I could do this much better now and that others could do even better, I am just learning and trying.
