I worked too hard and too long with deadlines and pressure to put myself under those guns with quilting. If I feel like quilting, I do; if I don't, I don't. I have made good strides this year in not buying so much fabric. I tell myself, that I have to make two quilts out of my stash before I will allow myself to buy more fabric. I have finally learned not to commit to making a quilt unless I really like the fabric/colors. I really procrastinate if I have asked (I know better.) what colors a person prefers, and they are not colors I enjoy working with. I do not quilt for others, but sometimes I want to give someone a quilt. I have decided if they do not like the quilt I give them, they can donate it to a shelter. Quilting is my recreation, and I do not need to add a lot of stressors to it.
