Puppies are a lot of fun but you can't take your eyes off of them and they require a lot of time.<br /><br />This has been a very stressful year for you.

Just know if you get bored with bindings you can always go to your next thing on the list, and so on. And then come back to the bindings. Sounds like you have a lot of quilts that are very close.
