Been there! I wanted to make a quilt for DSIL using a new pattern I fell in love with. I took it to the drop-in class for help and the tutor there didn't interpret the pattern correctly so I ended up with a wonky finished top (long and narrow). I gritted my teeth my teeth and hired the LQS Gammill to quilt it, thinking I'd then do some stars to complement the pattern......................

Anyway - he loved it so I am glad I finished it (I still hate it!). The pleasure I got from him and then DGS who 'borrowed' it and never gave it back made it worthwhile.

As others have suggested, devote a specific amount of time to it - say 2 hours on a Thursday or Saturday morning or whatever and stick to it.

That said, if anyone had offered to finish it for me, my feet wouldn't have touched the ground making my way over
