Philosophical post -- probably better in the Personal section but don't think it deserves it's own thread.
I'm doing the quick crazy blocks based on the book(s) Stack the Deck by Karla Alexander. This is a link to her store site and books, I have most of them!

I discovered Karla's methods and books about the same time my eye issues were diagnosed. I am ok that in terms of my quilting, in many ways my best work is behind me, or at least some of my most precise. Is a journey, we all start and end somewhere. Karla's projects give me something that isn't so demanding that I can do, even if I don't see well enough to be precise. But I can quilt in a wild exuberant style!
When I show some of my recent (last 10 years) works, it can be hard to believe that deep down I truly want to work in traditional (tiny vine-y) calicos and styles. I've been trying to embrace or at least learn to work with the fabric, rather than making the fabric work for me. And now I need to make my vision issues still work with quilting, and I am noticing the hands are starting to have a lot of complaints.
I don't mind "wasting" fabric with the trimming down. I could design the blocks or use a template with less sharp angles that result in less loss. But sometimes, it is just nice to slice and dice! I've learned to trust Karla's process and my fabric selections -- and I've learned to live with my mistakes because deep down, random results in things like the same fabrics touching or whatever.
