I wonder if this isn't the case of wanting to be a quilter?
And buying a lot of kits/fabric but never making any of these
projects? How can anyone get this many projects done in a lifetime. I say, sell all these kits, keep a couple, organize your sewing room and start sewing.

You need to do like me and sit down and write out everything that you have planned. I couldn't believe how long the list was AND I have almost everything that I need to finish the projects! I have marked off 3 of them and it feels GREAT! Now, how many do I have to mark off before I can add more to the list? ;-)
