You just do it when you have the time and energy to do so after you've tended to all of the other important things in your life. As someone earlier said, it's nice to be retired and that really does help as now I can complete a quilt in a decent time frame. 4 years for a queen sized quilt is a long time but I sure got my money's worth out of the cost of that fabric. When your married, have family at home and a job, those things are important and do take priority but even then I did try to squeeze in some time to quilt - better known as me or my time and we all need some me or my time. When the family was home, I set up in the living or kitchen to use the sewing machine and later would hand quilt in the living room with them while enjoying TV time. Even retired, I'm amaze at how prolific most of my friends are compared to me but they are all machine quilters and that makes a huge difference. I couldn't afford to be that prolific so it's better for me to be a slow mo hand quilter.
