Default My latest quilt top

I've got a problem. I finish quilt tops, but fail to finish quilts! I have a stack of quilt tops just waiting to be finished quilts, probably 7 or 8 of them. Once the top is done the thrill is gone and I lose interest. I and bound and determined to actually finish this one! I love the pattern !

Nice scrappy. I have way too many UFOs. Like you I enjoy the piecing way better than the finishing

I am the same way. I found an elderly gentleman that quilted a twin and two lap quilts for a total of $70. That was the total price. Not fancy but they are quilted. Love your top

Nice scrappy! I don't think you are that unusual. We all have our favorite parts of the quilting process. I do love piecing with colorful fabric!

If the tops are not going to be made into quilts, you could donate them to your local guild. Their philanthropy committee would get them quilted and donated to a good cause. I am the philanthropy chair for our guild. We have donated to Hospice, Alzheimer's Research, Project Linus, Quilts of Valor and several others.

Pretty Quilt. I, too, like the scrappiness of it.
