I'm glad you asked this. I love to do intricate work that takes me a long time to complete a project. The quilts are usually bed size. That is where my interests lie. Almost every piece of fabric has to be exactly what I want and I can't even use something I consider ugly fabric. I don't like fabrics to be too matching either. I guess I like an old antique funky look. This is why I can't race to the finish line, but I'm having fun. that's all that matters.

I think you could apply this to many things ;-) ;-) ;-)

I just think it's a difference in different kinds of people. There are those of us who keep several ideas in their mind; and can't shut that down; and more than anything enjoy picking out the material and getting that idea 'onto paper' (or into a quilt top) and the GREAT THRILL is gone,even tho they still like the rest. And there are those who enjoy that finality and solitude; and finality of seeing something come to fruition. And then there are those who just enjoy seeing it go from the brain wave idea to the finality of putting the last stitch on the last corner of a HAND STITCHED quilt. I don't think it is a question of having or getting enthusiasm back for some part of the process. I think it's more having done each step; and possibly finding one stage that we totally enjoy. We are all wired differently; and get enjoyment in different ways.
