I took stock of my sewing room recently. I have a lot of quilt tops. Like - a lot! They are all neatly hung in the closet waiting their turn out of the way, but they do feel "in the way" mentally. Whenever I think of starting a new sewing project, I feel them staring out at me suggesting that I might consider finishing something first. And so we baste.
I already had batting measured and cut for this quilt top, and the piece is on the smaller side compared to some of the other things in there, so it felt like a gentle reintroduction to sandwich and baste just this one.
I fell in love all over again with the design and the rainbow of colors. It was fun to see all the bits of fabrics from projects-gone-by and to remember how proud I was of myself when I had the gumption to actually cut and organize all of those rectangles.
I might not know how I want to quilt it yet, but getting it to this point feels like an accomplishment and a significant toe dip back into this room after a long hiatus.
