As several have mentioned above I make complicated quilts slowly. If I were in a hurry I'd buy a blanket.
I also quit buying fabric in 2001, just made financial common sense.
All my quilts are double sided, halving the batting needed and halving the storage space required.
I use all my quilts on our bed, rotating them out every 3 weeks to a month.
Use them, quilts were made to be loved. And I can't imagine ever thinking my quilts were too good for me to use.
That makes me sad. By the time I get 2-400 hours into a quilt it darn well is good enough to use and I'm worth it
