| pattern prototype |
This is a quilt that I have been working on for a long,
long time. It is not fussy, plain and simple. Maybe that is why it took my so dang long. Then again maybe it is because I designed it with the intention of writing and publishing the pattern. You see, I wrote and published a pattern (Kiara Chevron). You can find it on Craftsy....
please find it on Craftsy! But writing a pattern is really, really difficult. Or at least my brain thinks it is. I am so very paranoid about making sure that all the measurements and calculations are perfectly correct. And I want it to look professional...no hand drawings or confusing instructions. It took me forever to write the Kiara Chevron pattern even though it is a beginner pattern. It also gave me a giant migraine headache and hives, some hair loss and a blurry vision.
Not all of which is true. You decide. So....I think the completion of this quilt was hindered by the thought of writing the instructions for it (
aka procrastination, of which I am honorary Queen).

I am still on the fence about writing instructions for this quilt. What do you think? I really have a lot of the work finished. Only the computer part remains...Hahahaaha....ONLY the computer part remains. I think I feel my hair beginning to fall out....
ugh, I totally feel your pain and paralyzing fear/dread whatever you want to call it at the thought of actually writing the instructions. I have many patterns that really shouldn't be that hard to sit down and have me finish the actual pattern. I promised myself that I would finally publish one, of the many in progress patterns, this year. I just need to talk myself into "just doing it" already.
ReplyDeleteYes, write a pattern you're almost done. See it through... and put a little extra cash in your pocket for more quilty toys :)
thanks for the encouragement! Now you do it too!!
