I am having trouble finishing a quilt, I started and since my quilting shares the dining,office, and computer room, I can't start another quilt. This is when I spend time on the quilting board or crosstitch, read, tat or just get out.
There is no right or wrong time to quilt. I started when my daughter was 4. I took a break until my son was 6. Then another until recently.... My children are 23 and 18 today. A couple of years is not a big deal. Just don't stress over it.
