To Quilt, or Not To Quilt

   That is the question... Whether tis nobler to create a fabric work of art (or at least functionality). Or something like that, I memorized Shakespeare's soliloquys just enough to get the grade.
   I know me. Too well. I know how I am. My wife knows how I am. She makes fun of me because I will try to get the patterns to match when I wrap Christmas presents.
   If I can get the pattern to match where the paper meets, I'm ecstatic.
   If i took up patchwork quilting, I'd probably use way to too much material. Making the patterns match.
   The way the patterns match up on the left and right are very pleasing to me. But the top and bottom, drive me nuts. At least when I'm looking at it from an artistic viewpoint. The ones on the left are slightly off, but that's okay. 
   Whether or not the patterns match exactly, it still accomplishes its goal. It makes a comfortable cover at night. 
   I have no idea how old this quilt is, I'm not even sure whether or not it's one my mother made or somebody else made it and I just wound up with it. 
  I do know one thing, if I took up quilting in a serious way. I'd have to get a sewing machine. At least for piecing the tops together.

   I asked the other day if y'all found me uninteresting now. I know I don't post as much, and it's probably not as interesting as it was before.  But this is why I asked:

   I guess it's not as interesting, or maybe I just lost peoples interest. But I've dropped from 140 views per post down to 37. But I appreciate all the people that are still reading.

Thanks for Reading!
