You are probably a “creative process” person rather than a “completed project” person. These people, like me, often have more fun in the design, color pulling, piecing, and how-does-it-all-work-together process than we do in having the completed quilt.
I have UFOs nicely packed away that are over 25 years old. Some of these are nothing but a roll of the fabric pull for a quilt-to-be! Every once in a rare while, I come across a started one and get creative with it all over again by figuring how to enlarge it or add borders --- now that the fabric for it is mostly unavailable.
But long ago I was told that even though Michelangelo, and Beethoven, and other great artists, left work undone, no one denies *their* genius. It’s been my greatest guilt release ever.
Gotta leave *some* inheritance to the kids!

Thank you so much for I was beginning to think I was just making messes everywhere and never going to finish anything, some things I do finish though, it's just I do get bored, then start something new, get bored with it and so on, then go back to them eventually. I have a small section of a cathedral window quilt my mom had taught me how to make when I was 19 and now I'm 52 and yep, it's still not finished and I truly love this quilt, she'd made one and finished it in no time - all by hand. Thanks again.
