Think of it as waiting for your dkill set to catch up with the project. I find I'm getting to a similar stage on my projects and not wanting to go further as I'm not confident with the next steps.

Look at it this way, you are enjoying the journey so much you don't want it to end, so you start another journey. Happy trails to you!

I know we all do it, but... How do you get over the guilty feeling of projects going unfinished?? LOL

When you start to feel guilty about your UFO's, just eat chocolate. ...............but make sure it is really fine chocolate :)

I try to do the same thing, but it sure is tough sometimes. If I buy fabric for the next project, my fingers just itch to cast aside the wip and dig into the fun that awaits!

I don't feel anxious about mine, although I only have 3 or 4 at a time. I potter around doing small projects and suddenly will get the bug and want to finish off one of the big ones. I am also stern with myself and will not start big project #5 until one of the UFO's have been done.

When I first started I would begin projects that were a little too difficult for me. The frustration wasn't worth it so I walked away. Later as I improved I would revisit them and finish if I still wanted to. Some I've started are too boring and those go into the scrap pile, we all need scraps right? For whatever reason try not to feel guilt, this is supposed to be fun, something we do for ourselves and our creativity. Put them aside and revisit in a few months. Relax and enjoy.

Try finishing one per month. 12 month, 12 cleared out.

Guilt is a waste of time. As you are thinking how guilty you feel you could set your mind on making something small and finishing that. It will all come together someday. Just enjoy yourself!!
