On the other hand, I have made probably 12-15 quilts, several table runners, etc. and have tons of really pretty kits as well as fabric waiting for me. I have a nice machine....so basically NO EXCUSE. Anyone got any advice for this lazy 55 year old???
Let yourself off the hook. For me this is a hobby I enjoy, but I don't kick myself if I don't feel like quilting for a while.

I know exactly what you mean. I work 45-50 hours a week and when I get home at night I just want to crash. Wish I could retire. I find that working in my sewing room for an hour really relaxes me. I usually do my cutting in the evenings and sewing on the weekends.
Also remember, quilting should be relaxing not stressful. Don't stress so much on the little things and just relax.

If that's not possible, then go with what the others are saying, work on some smaller, easier projects during the week and save the ones that require more thought process for the weekends when you are better rested. :-)
