You are NOT alone ...
I had the same revelation recently, when I reorganized my stash and storage ... I just have TOO many projects in different stages, and others I'd plain forgotten about !! :roll:

that is interesting. you can just send them to me so I can work on them. I am the opposite. I have a hard time planning & getting together the materials, but once I have them, I am fine. I guess I have to work with you...you do the planning & I do the finishing/sewing (that is if you will not sew them). Goodluck & enjoy sewing your kits.

I didn't know I was a fabriholic (can't spell-too sleepy). However, from what I have read here I must be. I can't hardly stand to throw away scraps of any size or allow my fellow quilters in my group to do so either. Fact is on of them donated several bags of her scraps to me and passed along very little. I was searching for something next to my sewing machine this week, not even in my stash storage area, and I came across 3 tops waiting to be sandwiched & quilted. And I know I have several other UFO in with my stash. So I too am striving to Not buy any more fabric, just finish up these UFO & WIPs because I want to start so more quilts! I love the piecing & applique even better than the quilting itself but that can be fun too especially when it turns out as well as I hope.

I love the planning stage too and thought if I put them into ready-to-sew kits I could just grab one and get er done! But...oh nooo...I have to make up more kits becuase I have a long bucket list and if all the quilts are already made into kits, I will complete my bucket list!!
But....then I see another fabric I MUST have a quilt made from..so I have to at least make it up into a kit! Right??
I don't have time to sew the kits into quilts because I am in so many swaps and Round Robins on this forum...not to mention all the posting so I don't lose my "regular" status!
Sigh......what's a quilter to do.....
