I am very efficient.  I started this quilt in the spring of 2013 and only let the half-finished pieces of it sit around my office for a year.  The pattern is from Moda Bake Shop and involved a layer cake of the Aneela Hoey posy fabric that I have been hoarding.  The pattern called for wonky nine-patch blocks in the middle and solid blocks around the outside, and I started out with ambitions of making all of the blocks nine-patch blocks, but the desire to finish won out over the desire to impress.  My machine started acting up while I was quilting, and I broke eleven needles (said machine has been banished to the repair shop), but it is finished and on the couch.  I will envision children reading peacefully under it and will ignore the fact that the reality is that it is wadded up on the floor every time I walk into the room.
