Is is just me or does anyone else LOVE TO PIECE together blocks and tops but really not into putting them together into quilts/finished projects?

When I start a new project, I can work on it every day with enthusiasm! After the top is together, I run out of interest in getting them finished. I have about 4 right now - just waiting.

Anyone else there?
Anyone else been there and figured out how to get through it?

HELP!!!

Me,me,me...I have several tops completed but don't really like to quilt on my sewing machine. I can rent time on the longarm at my LQS but stay so busy that I can never seem to get there.

I do the same thing. I must have at least 8 quilts that are all pieced but need to be quilted. I am looking for a frame to use with my sewing machine in hopes it would make it easier to quilt from the machine. It is sooooo spendy to send them out but a long arm is to spendy for me right now also. Oh to win the lottery!

I'm the same way. I'll get lots of stuff to that finishing point then start something else. If I sit it out so its in my way eventually I'll get it finished. Or if I have a dead line. Or dreadline. I just have to be in the right mode to do all the finishing stuff. ;)

I like to do mine from start to finish. If someone else finishes for me, I don't find any satisfaction from that. I don't always get it finished as fast as I want, but I do always finish them myself.

I like it all except the binding. I absolutely hate it.

I like them both. But I definitely piece more than I finish.

Yeah, piecing and putting the top together is fun. I have more tops than finsihed quilts at the moment. I know they will get done one day. I usually bring them to a LAQ who does a really great job on them.

I am slowly finding the Zen in finishing. Binding may be my biggest delay.
