Does anyone else do this?

My quilt top is finished except for the border. Jeez oh man I thought the border would be the easiest part.
First, I made a TON of pinwheels to go around my king size quilt.
Decided nope don't like how it looks.
Bought border fabric, cut it and placed around it and nope, don't like it.
I have now made a million piano key blocks to go around it. Thankfully I think this one's the keeper.
I'd be DONE with this thing if I hadn't himmed and hawed around with it. :roll:

I do a lot of sketching on graph paper before I cut fabric. I have lots of drawings that just did not make the grade. There are lots of orphan blocks in my stash, too, as I now make a sample before I cut my 'real' fabric. Those orphans eventually find their way into another project.

I have done this! LOL I tend to second guess my decisions when I don't follow a pattern and I'm making it up as I go along --- which is often. Right now I have 2 incomplete tops that are waiting for me to make up my mind. I just remain patient --- it is part of my creative process. I have a design program and it does help when I'm stuck, I just need to start using it at the beginning of a project instead of at the end! LOL
