Thanks for sharing your quilt; it's an inspiration.
I think it is OK to take years to finish a project - sometimes I would only get the quilt out and make half a dozen rossettes - maybe a week - or two.
One thing I am doing with this next one is I picked out the coulourways for a few rossettes at a time and bagged them up with the cut papers in small food bags - then I could grab one or two for long train journeys Or (when I worked in a commercial setting) business trips with nights in hotels. etc.
Works for me!
