I, too, get to a point where I do not want to view the finished project. It is more on the bigger quilts, not on a smaller project like a table topper, runner, or small wall hanging. I don't know if it is the "it is the end of working on this" or if it is "now what am I going to do?" I still, after about 35 years of quilting do not have the confidence to choose printed fabrics. I made Amish inspired quilts for years because there is not pattern to the fabric, and now am working solely in batiks for the same reason. I can put the colors together, it is the patterns, values, etc., that drive me nuts when making quilts. I have found that buy buying the precuts, or staying in one line of fabric that I do better, and am getting a wee bit more confident in my choices, but still...

So, I relate totally. I need to get a couple of things basted and get on with them. I will post when I get them done. I have one, that I have called my "UGLY" quilt that needs to be tied and then bound. It was a BOM, and I detested the colors once I started it, and had a real hard time sewing it. Others tell me it is lovely. I don't think it deserves any more than a quick tieing. Is that how it is spelled? You all know what I mean anyway. Or maybe I should just bar tack ever square. Anyway, I relate. And I would love to see some of your finished products.
