You sound exactly like me. I think my reasoning is because it is all the way downstairs and I find so much else that should be done. I forget to give myself the luxury of spending as much time as I want to quilting. DH works long hours and extra days during the week, and I don't work (YET!) so I can spend most of the day down there. I think too I just hate to cut up the fabric. Once the first cut is done, it is easier as then I have a goal-I won't let UFO's sit around. I had to get expanded cable in the sewing room so that I had no excuse anymore to stay upstairs and do household things because now I can get the Hallmark channel anytime.
