Anyone else insist on making an easy project into a major project?

Not alone in this, will start simple then need to add a twist, sometimes another, often the ripper!! Call it the creative process.... :)

I think we just have a need to put our personal creative stamp on stuff. I'm always "tweaking" a pattern, I just can't seem to leave anything "as is". Sometimes I get in way over my head and tick myself off, but then I always finish what I started and promise myself never to do that again - yeah, right!

I took a Mariner's Compass wall hanging class and it's still in the process of becoming a king-sized quilt. All the compass blocks are done, I just haven't set them together yet. So....yeah, I do things like that too.
