What's wrong with me?
I don't know what my problem is. I love picking out fabrics, I piece blocks happily, putting them together with or without sashing is no problem, adding borders can be fun, sandwiching is ok, but making myself sit down to start the actual quilting is next to impossible. What's wrong with me?

Maybe you're just apprehensive about the results,so you don't move on. That first stitch, like the first step of a journey, can be the hardest. Do you machine or hand quilt? If you are FMQ on a machine, do something small like a table runner to get the feel of it & then do sections of your quilt. Before you know it, you'll have it done & you'll be really pleased with yourself! We all have parts of quilting that are fear inducing, so you are not alone!

I used to be like that when it came to fmq. I was afraid to find out that I couldn't do it. Once I did it a couple of times, I found out that my stitches were fairly good. I was afraid that my stitches would be all over the place. I found out that it was fun. You just need to jump in and do it. Good luck.

I hate the actual quilting and like both of you, I have to psych myself into starting the actual quilting.
