Usually I live by the rule "Better finished than perfect" and find that very helpful when I doubt my own skills. :) I am in general enthusiastic about all of my projects from start to finish. My problem is that I make things too big and complex as I don't enjoy making simple quilts, I want to challenge myself in everything. And of course all these projects take a very long time to finish and I run into new things to challenge myself with all the time. Today I think I have about five or six beautiful UFOs (and a lot of small ones) and the creativity is flowing so I can't keep up with anything. Not the worst problem in world, I'm the first to admit that, but it still leads to a sewing room full of UFOs. :) Interesting post, thanks!

While I only completed 2 small projects before I was lured to the computer to browse through fabrics (it really doesn't take much to pull me away from a project), I did feel like I accomplished a tiny bit today. Thanks for the tips - I'll be trying a few of them! This post is so timely – Just this morning I decided to wrap up a few WIP’s.
