Marci - of course if you have moved on, and feel totally disconnected from a quilt, then move on. My advice is really for the more active things set aside. However, I can say that I have just finished a quilt started almost 15 years ago. It was a small wall/art piece, and I always liked it, but also had hesitations about it. Now that it is done - I love it. So.... you have to be your own judge.

Thank you, that's just what I needed to hear, with a very large quilt for my 20-yr-old grandson that has been interrupted by so many things! I don't want him to be in his 30's before he gets it. I know what his tastes and colors are now and I want him to enjoy what I have been making for him now!

This is wonderful advice for where I am today on several projects. In cleaning up my quilting space I have gathered together several projects that I would say are at 1, almost no interest but not sure what to do with them, because I have moved on to other designs. Do you push through years later? Or do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you for your inspiration.

Great advice Ricky! I have a quilt that has been a roller coaster on the passion scale. Good to know you can push through the lower ends of that scale.
