I am going through this right now too! I am making 2 identical quilts from quilt kits for Christmas quilts. I completely enjoyed putting the first one together, it is all quilted and waiting for the binding to be sewed to the back. I started the second one and it was a chore for me to even piece the top. It still has to be sandwiched, quilted and have the binding put on it, all by Christmas day!!! It will get done, but I have never not wanted to finish a quilt before. I think it was the repetition of the fabrics and the design. I know I will feel better after I get it done. . . . You will too!

I can so identify with you. Hopefully the look of pleasure on your sister's face will make it all worthwhile to you. Maybe when you're done you can either take a little break or start on something just for yourself.

I am so sick of so many of my quilts I'm making at the same time right now. I can't make up my mind if I like one, so I pick up another one and get sick of it and some times, I start a new one and get sick of it. I think I sew too much. Usually I sew everyday. And for ME, that's too much. I need a break. Some times while sewing, I start thinking about how much fun housework would be. Now that shows you how much I sew!

I know what you mean. While I was doing the quilting for the one I am giving my Sister-in-Law for Christmas, I think at one point I may have even said out loud "I can't wait to get you out of my house" to the actual quilt.

I've said many bad words to this quilt, and even kicked it a few times.
My sister arrives tomorrow!! Hopefully I can surprise her with it on the bed she will be sleeping in!

I am sure we all have worked on things that just pushed our interest to the limit. Kudos to you for persevering and completing this. Your sister will find it a loving gift and you will be pleased to be moving on to something new and different. Thanks for sharing; looking forward to seeing pics.

Some quilts just seem to go that way don't they? You don't really want to set it aside...but it just seems to go on and on and on. I used to just keep plowing through it, now sometimes I start a smaller project so that I have a break from the bigger one.
