Default Finishing All the Quilt Tops

Is finished truly better than perfect?

My drawer of finished quilt tops is nearly full, but my UFO draw has barely done down. I was originally planning on saving most of my tops for when I can afford/have room for a long arm. But realistically, that probably won't be for another 10 to 15 years away. Maybe I should try to find a local long armer to baste them up for me and then I just quilt them all up. (I hate basting!) I want something more than overall patterns or stippling. But choosing the right pattern is challenging too! I've thought about big stitching a couple, just for fun. So, question is: is finished truly better than perfect? Should I save them for the "perfect" time in my life, or just do a simple stipple or meandering pattern and call them done? Surely I'm not the only one of us with this delimma.
