I also love piecing the tops. But sometimes the quilting just speaks to me and I quilt several at a time. (on my Janome 6600) I really like the feeling of having completely finished a project. Then its time to decide who to give it to, that's really the fun part. I love sending quilts to unsuspecting relatives!! they love them.

So true for me too thequiltmama
. I keep saying I am going to bundle up a bunch & take them to the longarm quilter and just be done with them but then I think oh I can do them myself and save a ton of money. :XD:

I love doing the tops also and finishing is not as exciting. However, i am a practical person and decided I needed to finish all incomplete quilt tops before I made new and I am on the last one. I see no sense in me having tops hanging in my closet, but unable to add warmth to someone so that was in incentive to finish them all. Even if you have to send some to be quilted they are more useable done (smile). Good luck with this.

I'm in the same boat. I get bored with one project so I have to have several going but UFO's seem to add up much higher than finished quilts.
I'm hoping when I finally finish cleaning up my sewing room I'll get motivated.
It's such a mess I've been avoiding it!!!!!!

I am trying to quilt one for every two that I piece. I don't have a problem quilting the small projects but the large ones take a lot of poking for me to quilt. Usually I wait until I want to give one to someone because they take up less room to store.

Me too, right now I have 8 that need to be put together and quilted. I keep saying I will not start another project till I get some quilted and completed, but somehow that is not working. Love to piece and design, but the quilting I really need to be in the right mood.
