I was able to complete more of the Tiny Town block number six. I finished the two storey house section. This one wasn't so bad to do either.
I attached the strip that goes above the house, attached it to the first section, the stacked birdhouses and finished this larger section by attaching the bottom strip.
Now I am working on the last section to this block. The last section is of a gas station, pump and a pick-up truck. I've only got two pieces attached so far, so I will have to show you the pictures of it later when I am done.
This full block is due the third Saturday of November. I am making good timing this time, but I still need to catch up with one more block. Block number five is still behind. I am trying to push myself to have it done by the meeting in November too, but if it doesn't happen....oh well. It won't be without trying.
I can't wait to have is quilt top done. I want to get to some of the other thinks that have been pressing to get done. It is so much easier working on things that I enjoy.
This project was enjoyable until things started happening that made it impossible to work on and having enforced timelines pretty much kills the enjoyment. There are not many things that I don't enjoy doing in quilting, but tell me it has to be done now or by a certain date and something in me rebels.
Am I the only one like this? When I am like this I feel like a little kid with their face scrunched up, arms crossed over their chest determined to have there own way. In other word it feels childish. But I can't seem to stop it. Inside my head just now I pictured myself having a temper tantrum, dropping on the floor and pounding my feet and fist on the ground. Quite funny actually, while I think about it, because even as a child I don't think I ever did this.
I will have to ponder this some time to come up with the reason or underlining cause for me blocking every time I am required to meet a deadline. The funny thing is it doesn't happen at work, only during my own personal time.
