Anyone else insist on making an easy project into a major project?

What is wrong with me??? I always seem to make every quilt more difficult than it started out. I am doing a fairly easy quilt right now, hexagons with small triangles on all sides, sewn in rows. I want to hand quilt it so I planned on doing ivory borders, to match the triangles, and do some detailed quilting. I have recently started thinking about hand appliqueing the border, it just seems perfect for this quilt. That means it won't be done for quite awhile, and I am so anxious to have something to start quilting on. Last year I wanted to make my daughter a christmas quilt since it was her first year with her new husband. I was already working on a intricate quilt for my oldest son who had gotten married 9 months before her, so I knew it had to be an easy pattern. I found perfect fabrics, infact too many "perfect" fabrics, I ended up making two quilt tops and made it reversable. Why can't I seem to do something easy?
