I have the same problem - I am making a quilt for my DD's 1st wedding anniversary and I have to have it done by mid July. I like the fabric but find the piecework very boring. I need to make 16 braid panels and only have 7 complete. ((groan))
I have decided to change the original design by putting something different in the center and using the braid panels as borders. That gets me off the hook making braids - I only have to do one more.
Now that I have given myself the freedom to stop doing something that I find boring... I am getting excited to work on this project again. :D
