At this point (the start of 2021) and with time at home to think, I found myself dithering over where and how to organise my posts featuring finished quilts. When I started this blog, it was easy to list quilts by "year started" as all I had was a photo of a finished article. Now I am at a cross-roads with UFO’s. I have bits & bobs here & there and lots on the go in the WORK BOX too. Not to mention quite a few unfinished items. I wonder (to myself loudly) if it wouldn’t be easier to change mid-stream and begin tagging projects by year finished. What a beat-up! What a lot of work!
But this great idea has since hit the floor with a thud… Everything would have to be re-arranged and perhaps nothing would make any sense. There would be no apparent logical order. And the world as we know, loves order. Yes, even finding it in chaos.
However, I've since had an epiphany. My plan now, after all this wasted time on “will I or won’t I” debate, is to note:
1. The FINISH & START year in my post sub-headings.
2. The FINISH year in a "label cloud" making it easy to search.
All dates will still be located in "Just for the Record" notes of each finished quilt and every post will still be dated according to time/date posted. In all, this organisation should allow me to easily find key quilt dates, and enable linking of posts (perhaps), even in-progress reports (if I'm super-keen). I’m so very slow to finish quilts, some taking years (and years) to finish so it is easy to forget details. And doesn’t everyone keep digital photos and an excel spreadsheet (a documented quilt list) of their wonderful creations?
There, that feels better. Now, did you really need to know this? |
