LOL! Absolutely! I was sitting on the couch next to my DH yesterday, quilting my wall hanging, when I told him that it apparently was perfectly normal to have several quilt tops unfinished. He said he didn't think it was a good idea. lol He probably saw in his mind the sewing starting to fill with fabric and quilt tops and slowly pushing him and his small craft table out.
My daughter had a challenge at the MQX in KC year before last. They had to quilt a quilt from a pattern in the KC Star. She went to the cedar chest where her late MIL's unfinished tops are stored (her hubby is 65) and pulled out a quilt top made in the 1930's and she finished it for the show. She said there were quite a few pieced tops in that cedar chest that hadn't been quilted yet.
