I have the same problem. When I started, I couldn't wait to have a "stash," and now that I have one, I have too many choices to make a decision. sigh

My Mom always said, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." So just take a little bitty bite and soon you'll have eaten an elephant. LOL

I'm so glad this posting is here!! I've been 'poor me-ing', doing the victim thing cause I have to work and am so ADD I think I need a different med for it, that it's hard to have time or focus to quilt...
Yet I sit on here, looking at all the beautiful quilts, and I want, I want!! lol!! But to get them - I need to make them! ;)
I did very recently start sewing again, haven't since last February when I finished my son's flannel log cabin. I'm making my quitar playing DH a big quitar wallhanging. :) :) I'm just so hit and miss about going in and working on it!
:(
I bought a bunch of summery material, was going to make a summertime quilt (last Spring!), and I see all of yours, so I get sideteacked still thinking of how I'll make mine... Then I've been checking out the BOM pictures...
I look at all the material/books/magazines I have, and feel quilty that I'm not going gung ho 24/7 *using* it!
I like the idea someone posted about just going in, if even for a half hour, and sewing. I'm starting it right after dinner tonight!
You're all such a blessing!! Thank you! :) :)

He started to make fish hooks and then decided the sun was to hot and he needed to make a hat, when he was making the hat, he decided he needed to find water first, etc etc. In the end he did nothing at all.
Well, I feel like this sailor with my quilting. I have so many projects I want to make, so many patterns I have saved, so much fabric in my stash, that I can't decide which to do first, so in the end I do nothing and spend all my time on this board. How pathetic is that ?
