I'm a perfectionist, and quilting is *perfect* because it's taught me a lot about myself, the idiocy of perfectionism, and how to let go of what's not important.
Quilting consists of three steps: measure and cut; sew press. Repeat.
It is a great activity because it can be done in small time increments. The results are immediate.
It appeals to my creativity and artistic sense. There's tremendous variety in quilt patterns, fabrics, threads, and so on. And it's the best way I can manage my ADHD. I have to focus on what's right in front of me. I never get bored. I love seeing a quilt take form.
