My Unfinished Quilt Taught Me Something Unexpected About Perfectionism

This is the third video in my video series about processing grief through quilting and making my first quilt.

I started my first quilt to deal with grief, thinking it would give me something positive and challenging to focus on. I decided to make a baby quilt for a friend who was moving to another country, and as the stack of blocks grew I started to feel better, but it also made me nervous I would mess up my blocks… My perfectionism took over the project stalled... but their moving date kept getting closer and I had to get going again.
