Emma S. - I think I'm going to write down that quote because that does sum it up. Finishing things is very liberating... my Mom is my biggest cheerleader of all because she knows me so well and has finished up several of my leftovers and/or rescued me over the decades. The other day we were talking and she commented that it's not like I'm obsessed with quilting as in letting other things go - I can be an All-or-nothing person too - because I've been reading lots of books and keeping up with my garden, got my quilting room put together, getting meals on the table etc.
I had to think about that a bit... but I certainly do feel "lighter" and it seems easier to keep up with my other tasks than it used to. It's hard to take on new projects in any part of life when you can't trust yourself to finish it!
