Bonus Episode: How to Beat Perfectionism and Make a Quilt

And as promised, here's a follow-up bonus episode from this week's Colcytology episode all about quilts. And this one, a little bonus, just a little bonus dropping in your feed. It's just chalk a block with advice and encouragement and a call to action to make some cool stuff out of scraps in an effort to calm your nerves.

and buy less stuff and make more art. Now QuiltCon 2026 happened just a few weeks ago in Raleigh, North Carolina. I've been tagged in so many posts from that since last episode. The scathing political quilts there, just brutally wonderful, beautiful. Leave it to crafters to change the world.

Highly recommend. checking out some quilt con 2026 quilts. Last week we went deep into the context and the history of quilt making with museum curator Olivia Joseph, author and quilter Joe Cunningham, and fiber fine artist Luke Haynes, who made me a quilt that is up on our Instagram. That's amazing. He also made a small quilt pattern for oligite quilters.
