I'm with you. I go back farther than you though in that I dislike the sandwiching. Then the quilting is a struggle because I find it hard to manage the bulk of the quilt on the mach. So if there is something wrg. with you, I'm in line with you.
I had a friend who lived fulltime in a big motorhome. All she did was quilt. Had piles of tops everywhere til you couldn't sit down anywhere without picking up a pile of tops. The big thing was that she didn't even care that none were finished. Just wanted to create tops.
