Ah.. Satisfaction. Completion. Joy.
The "Fan Quilt" (which was in reality a Peacock Quilt) has been joyfully welcomed into its new home. (YAY! YAY! And Double YAY!)
Now that the project has been finished and well received, I find my brain is already beginning to soften the edges of memory. As I relax into this sense of accomplishment, I can feel that post childbirth-like haze descending.. What? This project gave me a hard time? No, no.. it was a joy to make! It was all creative color pairing, exciting design, and anticipation. The beginning phase and the ending rapidly eclipse the hard work in between. With completion, it is again clear to me that the final product is worth so much more than the sum of its parts and labor, and this is, of course, why I love to create and why (once the buzz has worn off) I will do it all again.
Live long and prosper Lovely Peacock Quilt!
