have you ever pieced a quilt and tired of it already?

I have one going like that, its a stack and cut Christmas tree sorta like a crazy quilt type. It goes against all the ususal rules for piecing and makes me nuts. I have put it away on and off now since taking the class. I have done a few other smaller projects since and go back to it and do a few blocks and put it away again, hopefully it will get done by the Christmas season.

I have the top done on a quilt for my SIL by request by my daughter. Hate the solid fabrics (they had to be solids as this is essentially a cross stitch pattern/graph paper pattern of an old video game screen with some characters I'm not sure of, never having been a video game nut); hated the piecing----it's made of 1.5" strips that are all pieced in varying ways so when you sew them together in the right order, they make the picture BUT you are essentially "flying blind" most of the time. Don't particularly care for the SIL either, most of the time...so I'm having trouble finishing this one! He got the top for Christmas last year and I'm determined to give him the quilt, finished, for Christmas this year.....

That's the main reason why I usually only do "quickies". I get bored too quick. Occasionally I'll do something more complicated for a special project, but mostly I just want to mow on through them. Does that make me less of a quilter?
