A new purpose for that quilt (I’m goal driven) will inspire me to finish.
Quilting is also therapeutic. Sometimes I’ll quilt for the therapy (like today).
BUT Quilting is for me, NOT me for the quilt.
Good for you, Pet! You're absolutely right on so many points there - sometimes the best and healthiest thing is to just say "I'm done" and let it go - perhaps to someone who will feel good about finishing it.
I'm still struggling to finish quilts. I have a bolt of batting now but am not looking forward to having to layer/baste/quilt a number of quilts in a row. For now I'm in the middle of laying out a quilt I have made from a sample pack I bought in a moment of weakness a couple of years ago when my LQS first opened to in-person shopping again. I loved the fabric but with sample packs you get strange amounts of each fabric so finding a pattern that works can be challenging. I like it but will need to add some more blocks to make the quilt a useable size. Perhaps I will try to get this one completely finished to get me back into the swing of things. :-)
