I finish one before I start another, only when a needed one comes up suddenly. Then I go right back to it, doesn't happen often.

I don't think it's about catching up. I think it's more about enjoying the journey, & it sounds like you are! You might try, keep one on the frame, to work, & one you making, at the same time. Then you can switch back & forth, & not get tired of either, depending on your mood...

it takes me time to think of the right finishing touches. meanwhile, i have to keep busy :)

No one ever gets caught up

Not just quilting either! Now that the kids are raised and DH knows he can survive without being up my butt all day I am getting very selfish with my time. I am a member of many community programs. I am giving up most of them. Just not enough time to committee fundraisers, festivals, activities, events and do so much planning. I can sponsor, that's easy just write a check! LOL I plan on doing what I want to do with every minute of my day and say "No I don't want to" much much more.

It is never ending... Is there hope for me?

And what fun would it be to get caught up? You always have something to do!!!! I can't tell you how many "to do" lists I've made and haven't finished!! My friend is always reminding me of the promised projects that she'll probably never see. Oh, well. At least I have tomorrow.

So I will not worry about finishing my 8 tops to quilt, 4 UFO, 2 PHD and 3 PIGS. And then there is my 'to-do' list. :lol: |

YES!!!!! Make quilting tops as your next project. Put the peicing project on the bottom of the to-do list and a make UFO you priority. Then start over with tops and so goes the cycle.
