What, so soon?
 

Have any of you almost felt sad when a project was finished because you enjoyed the particular process so much?

Yes, however I am always in a hurry to get the next one started.

Actually, I have never experienced that feeling. I always seem to have three or four ideas rattling around in my head and often resent the time it takes to finish the current project. But since I am trying to limit my UFO's, I am forcing myself to totally finish one project before starting another.

I have on occassion, liked a pattern so much, that I used it twice in a row, just with different fabrics.

Yes, that's happened to me, too. But then again, there are times when I am GLAD to complete what I'm working on!

Yes, and then sometimes I am elated to finish one too LOL :) :) :)

YES.....which is why I usually have more than one project going at a time...hate separation anxiety..hehehe

Oh no!! Contrary! I am elated! that means I can start another one!!!

Nope, not me! When I get to the point of being almost finished, I can hardly wait to begin another!

Never! The last stitch in the binding is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.

ditto on that

Yes, I have a "let down" feeling. I love being in the middle of something. Like right now, I'm in the process of doing a Bargello. The double heart one somebody on the board showed us recently. I fell in love with it but now I'm wondering what the heck I let myself in for. I'm not a bit happy with my fabric choices but had limited LQSs avail. to me. I just hope & pray it turns out since I really want it for my bed.

Yes, yes, yes. I just finished a bargello that I really love. I feel like it will be a long time before I make something I like as much. The next project will not be able to compare to the bargello.

As I was working on my latest quilt I fell in love with the pattern. As I continued working on it, I have started to hate the pattern....Part of it is my fault though.
I'm super excited to get it done, because it is a present and I know she is going to love it!

Not really. I work so slow that I am happy to have it finished so I can move on to my next project.

I'm slow, too, so I'm glad to be finally finished.

Yes, specially when I'm chain piecing. You go from nothing done to all done.
But then I get over it and move on to something else. :)

It is a funny feeling of accomplishment, anticipation for which already started project to pick up and a tinge of regret that a friend is leaving the fold.

Mostly what I feel is relief, its done. And by then I wonder why I ever started. A little time goes by and I fall in love with it all over again. Meantime there are many UFOs waiting for my attention so I get going again.

Nope, always have lots on my "to do list" and look forward to scratching some of those quilts off the list.

That would be a NO. Too many other projects waiting in the wings. I just had to drop one project - to start 8 mini ones to finish in two weeks. Too many projects, not enough hours.

Not really. When I am done I feel accomplished and happy. But I do confess that when I give the quilt away and don't get to see it anymore, that is when I have a twinge of sadness. :) That is why I like the photo journal. I can look back at the quilts I made and enjoy them again.

I am always anxious to finish the project I'm working on 'cause I want to start the next one.

No actually it's quite the opposite! I'm so excited to start another quilt that I get almost giddy with anticipation!

I'm never sorry to see the project get done. I'm usually tired of it by that time. But I have had separation anxiety when I give them away. All of my family have quilts now, some are on their second quilts. Guess who doesn't have one....ME!! Think it might be time to make me a quilt and let other's wait for a while.

Yes, I almost always have a twinge of regret that one project is being done, but it's passes quickly as the next one starts. I've even tried applique with the stitch & turn method that I enjoyed. Sure made it easier!! I hope I can learn paper piecing next year! That's going to be my resolution I think. I love some of the patterns I see for it!

I usually get board in the middle of a project! That's why I'm have several projects going at once. I'm trying to make potholders as a way to keep me on task. When I'm nearly finished I get all excited again & feel great when I finish.:thumbup: Yea, for me!

I am usually exicted to get a project done, especially if it is a UFO

Boy, howdy!

Yip! I also feel sad to use the last scrap of a favourite fabric - no matter the number of projects or the size of the stash.

Sounds just like me! The next one keeps calling my name!

Yes, I just finished a quilt I am donating to Relay for Life last night. I am sad it is finished because I don't have anything to start on (I don't start a project until the one I am working on is finished). I also really like this quilt and it is going to be hard to part with. But my husband reminded me it is going to a good cause. So I will be looking for my next project to start on.

I understand how you feel. I just finished the new Crabapple Hill Quilt Pattern "Calendula Patterdrips Cottage" and am so sad the process is over. It was a lot of embroidering along with color tinting with crayons and it was so much fun to do for this Halloween loving gal. I have been looking around for the next project, but so far none appeal as much as that one did.

Yes, but usually I'm so happy to have it DONE that I do a dance around the house. The children are quite amused by this...

Nope, I enjoy seeing my finished art too much!

like everyone so wanting to get this quilt finished i want to start the next which i have 4 on the table now and i also which me luck am going to do my first longarm quilt as to do for some one else and get paid i i hope i do well
maggied

that is why you need more than one in process always....for me anyway...the last stitch on the binding, seeing the finished quilt for the first time ....... joy and sadness

On the other hand, I have a contented sense of accomplishment. I don't always get things finished, esp ahead of time. So I love it when a plan comes together smoothely.

That's exactly how I felt about my warm wishes quilt. Loved the process and the end product turned out lovely. Now I don't know what to work on next. Everything else is tedious and time consuming compared to the warm wishes.

Yes. I feel the same way about a good book or movie.

You can always start another one!
