I wonder if this isn't the case of wanting to be a quilter?
And buying a lot of kits/fabric but never making any of these
projects? How can anyone get this many projects done in a lifetime. I say, sell all these kits, keep a couple, organize your sewing room and start sewing.
Having read this post, I went into my 'sewing room' (it's not really a room, but I'll call it that for clarification) and counted the quilt kits I have that I not even looked at in a month. I've 15...and believe me, I am not ashamed of that!!!! AND...I'd consider myself a quilter even if I had only 1 kit!!!

The kids' fleece car blankets, and binding on the turtle quilt that's already quilted, will be fast too and get a lot out of the WIP section quickly. Then you'll feel freer to pick and choose what to work on next.

yea, i'll do a couple of quick ones - but first i need to finish the ones that are on a dead line.

first stop - getting OFF this computer and getting today's errands done, so i can SEW SEW SEW this evening!

I'll be back later - with more comments i'm sure! :)

thank you everyone! your kind words, encouragement, and even good-natured laughter mean so much to me.

You need to do like me and sit down and write out everything that you have planned. I couldn't believe how long the list was AND I have almost everything that I need to finish the projects! I have marked off 3 of them and it feels GREAT! Now, how many do I have to mark off before I can add more to the list? ;-)

OMG, I thought I had projects, you have a lot of fun things to do, It would be hard to pick just one and get started! Would like to see the face of your insurance agent!
