That's just the thing, if you know it will take years to finish,,, that box will be setting on the shelf anyway so go for it. Looking back over my journal, I am sure I was so not monogamous back then... looks like I finished the top in a few months! I started 11-11-99 and the last entries are in August of 2000. Then all the fabric was carefully boxed up into a pampers box (children are all adults now) and stored. It was moved many times with us in the last 20 years but unfortunately an overzealous DH hauled it all to the dump, in the last 6 months or so. I can hardly believe it but they are all gone. I'd swapped and purchased and and it's all gone. Fortunately I'd cut all the fabric pieces of the triangles, made many of them and have only a handful left. Now the rubber meets the road, we'll see if I'm still able to work on it, if I remember all my skills or not.

All that said, you could loose everything tomorrow, health or fabric LOL. I highly recommend you start today, right now in fact.
