Alyce, I am in total agreement with your "feelings"! I do have a few projects at different stages, though. such as ones to hand quilt in the evening. But my stash is all donated or leftovers from projects I've made. And I used to buy new fabric for each quilt and found that a fun way to start.
Its the journey with creating that I love so if a quilt takes a few years, that's fine with me!
