I have been retired since 2000 and just really got into quilting about 4 years ago. I too am sporadic. Some days I spend almost all day on the computer checking out tutorials, looking a blocks and "window" shopping fabrics. Then some days I start at the machine right after the morning coffee and still am there at dinner time.....Today I plan to get back to a top I'm working on for my DIL. It's all in purples, whites and lavenders. Have at least 3 more to do for family members and if I don't get started pretty soon it will be Christmas before they get them !!!
