Ditto and ditto! Unless you're making a quilt:
.. for a baby who should get the quilt before it starts school;
.. for a small child who is not likely to remain small indefinitely;
.. for a very senior citizen who is not going to get any younger;
.. for a special person (e.g.: sickness; in combat or wounded military);
.. for a special occasion ...
making quilts should never become a chore to be finished within a specified time.
In case you haven't already guessed, I'm very slow to complete a quilt, but every aspect of it, the initial plan, the fabric selection, the day I start on it, etc., etc., is deeply satisfying.
