I know we all do it, but... How do you get over the guilty feeling of projects going unfinished?? LOL

Well, the first thing is - you don't HAVE to finish everything. If you learned something from the process - even if you learned you hated it - that's something. I think of it as the "going out to dinner" theory. If you go out to a nice dinner, you can drop $100, and it's gone the next day.. So even if you entertained yourself for several days, or weeks with the same $100, you're way ahead of the game. Plus, it's never really unfinished, unless it ends up in the trash. I expect there would be lots of quilters on this board who would be really happy with a project that's already started. Anyway, what I'm saying is NO GUILT!
