Why do the quilts we think will be sooooo easy turn out to be the ones NOT? Do you ever do that too? I think "I can whip that out in no time", only to find 6 months has passed. Is it loss of interest, lack of time, or just the birth process of a UFO?

Maybe, I got one UFO, that I cut out the pieces and because I was so brilliant on the sewing machine I did about 10 sqaures by hand, and then gave up. About 500 pieces total in the quilt and the instructions were, lacking.... The pieces, poorly cut out were stuffed in my scrap bags, so, I would say, it depends on the person. I love quilts, but their a pain cutting out......
Thats where I get stuck. :roll:

My problem is that I have more ideas than I can do in several lifetimes. I do not know if it is because a particular pattern is more difficult than it looks. I just everything to be done in a hurry.

The more projects you have going the better. I do at least 3 at a time and work on each for awhile to kill the boredom and monotony.
Work on the quilt that is difficult about 1 hour 2x week and eventually it will be finished.
