I realize that "life situations" get in the way and that I can't always quilt or whatever other plan I have for the day/week, etc. Plus as bearisgray mentioned, it depends on other demands a person has to deal with at a given time in his/her life.Time is probably the biggest one - it takes time to prepare to make any quilt - but then that is all part of the fun of seeing it all come together. I just try to do the best I can and enjoy the whole process of quilting - also realizing you can't do every pattern you see.
