I am finished.
647 pages of Sartre and 1002 quilt blocks.
In the book they go up to 1003* but there is no 548. A while ago that might have bothered me, but it doesn’t now. There are other errors in the book too, but overall I think given its size and scope there are surprisingly few. It’s no more perfect than my blocks are, probably more so. One thing I have learned over the course of this journey is that I am not a perfectionist, and I think I am okay with that.
I don’t think it has quite sunk in yet that I am finished. My brain is still in the what do I have to do next kind of thinking.
Thanks to everyone who has read and commented and given me encouragement over the last year. I really don’t think I could have done it without the sense of accountability the blog has given me.
Here is your last lot of blocks, then I am going to go update the gallery, then I am going to go to bed. I will probably not blog for a while. Will post some pics when I make something out of all these blocks.
*I know I said in an earlier post there was 1007, but if there is one thing that you should have learnt by now it’s that I really can’t count.
Congratulations. That’s quite a feat you’ve accomplished there.
thanks, I’m feeling just a little bit proud of myself right now
You will post a picture when you’ve put them all together I hope, even if you do want to take a break from blogging.
absolutely
Wow! I’m so impressed! Love that you have completed this challenge. What’s next for you?
Well, I have to make quilts out of all my blocks, but I guess there is no hurry for that. I am thinking that my next big challenge will be to write a novel. I’ve always wanted to do it, and I’ve had an idea for a while but keep quitting after the first chapter. Now I have my persistance levels up I might give it another go. Even if it never gets published it will be a big accomplishment to write the whole thing.
I’m a bit late, but congratulations, and well done.
… very very late, but … Congratulations ! I’ve been reading you for a while, and I’m impressed at what you’ve achieved.
thanks
