If the project is a gift, which the majority of mine are, then I pretty well stick to it until it is done. As someone else mentioned taking a class is a good way to have lots of unfinished projects sitting around, but I do enjoy learning the new techniques. My problem is when I set a project aside to do a "must have" for a gift I have a hard time getting back to it. Many years ago we had a quilting group meeting in our church basement and they were after me to join (I sewed and did crafts but hadn't gotten the quilting bug yet) I used the "excuse" that I didn't have time as my daughter was playing high school sports with many games on "quilting night" Well came May they were starting a mystery quilt. The leader of the group~a 80 year old gentleman~ talked me into joining in. When I asked him how long it would take and he said about 6 weeks ~sewing once a week at the group night. Well I started and now 14 years later my "mystery" quilt is still a mystery! But I have many others done finished and used! Every once in a while one of the girls will ask me about the unfinished quilts I have that I started as a group project with them. LOL I am working harder at finishing my quilts. but right now I have gathered material for 3 and have another one planned, just haven't found the fabric I was looking for. I spent the last year working on QOV quilts that we presented to the veterans at my family reunion so now I have to catch up on all the baby quilts I put on the back burner so I could finish my QOV
