I love to piece the quilt tops but it takes me a long time to finish one as I don't really have a lot of time available to quilt without interuption. Once I see the beauty of the completed design ( the design, not my work .... LOL ) I lose interest in that quilt. I do take it to the longarm to be quilted soon after it's been completed but it's often several months before I do the binding and that usually happens when I want to give a quilt as a gift. Soooo Jo C, you are not alone.
