All of the above (well, maybe not kick it in the fire lol). I did a hand appliqued heart quilt that lays atop our king size bed. I hand pieced all the hundreds of blocks. I call it my 7 year stitch because that's how long it took me. I didn't work on it full time. So, it was kinda bittersweet to have it done. I missed working on it. So, now I'm doing a hand appliqued basket quilt:-)

Then why do you quilt?
i'm surrounded by other artists and they all work with different mediums and i asked them all about this type of feeling and i've found that this is an extremely common feeling amongst artists.

I always feel like the fabrics are a bit dull, the patterns not as interesting and I don't like it as much as I thought I would. But I think that's just because I've spent sooo long staring at it that it's not interesting anymore. After a while that familiarity goes away and it because beautiful again.

It really depends, sometimes I'm sad the project is done.
I make almost all my quilts and give them away so sometimes I like to just hold them and look at them for a while. My next project is for my bed so I'll be able to hold it for a long time!
