Process and Identity Crisis

My process seems to go something like this:

• get an idea
• throw myself into the project without much planning
• find I need to stop and do some planning
• plan
• new idea
• a little planning
• throw myself into project
• find I need more planning and/or creative block
• newer idea
• throw myself into this project
• feel bad that I have too many projects and never finish anything
• go back to the first idea (or one of many unfinished other projects) and work on it
• feel satisfied with finally making progress on something
• finish a project that has a deadline
• new idea
• etc.
• you get the idea

My workroom is starting to overflow with unfinished quilt projects.  I was starting to feel really like I really couldn't do it because I could never finish anything.  Although, I did finish two nametags for the AMQG meeting.  I'll post a pic of the second one, the one I really like and wore to the meeting, sometime soon.

I also started to have an identity crisis.  Am I a modern quilter or an art quilter?  And if I'm an art quilter than who are my people?  Because it seems that modern quilters are not art quilters.

So, I decided to be a modern quilter this week.  I finished the top for my daughter's quilt.  It's not really like the photo I took earlier because I needed to make it simpler.  I really like it though.  I have the bottom laid out on the floor and I'm taking a creative lunch break to mull it over.

In the end, I think I can be both a modern and an art quilter.
