I've wondered if I have a problem. When I stop to think of all the
quilting projects I am currently working on - some more than others.
I'm working on "Over the River and Through the Woods", a batik quilt,
my everlastingly large handquilting project, a machine quilting
project, a quilt for my daughter, a brown and rosie pink quilt and a
quilt I'm putting together for a neighbor who just found some of her
Mom's embroidered green work blocks. These are just the ones that
come to my mind as I'm sitting here. Oh yes, The Lancaster quilt too!
Do you think I should continue to muddle along, or should I work on
one until it's finished. I keep saying that I'll not start another
quilt until I finish my currents projects - but I always see something
else I'd like to try ;-)

I am mighty easy-going about that, Bonnie. I enjoy having several projects
going and simply pick up whichever one calls to me. I might feel like
piecing and I might feel like feathering. When creativity escapes me, I run
bobbins.
For sure, there's this - if you enjoy starting projects and never finish
one, there will be very few hungry children in Balaahongwuggula affected -
and you will not poke your eye out.
OTOH, if you have promised a crib quilt and the recipient is already in
his 3rd year at a university, well . . . that's kind of awful. Polly

And I thought I had alot going! You're making me tired. For me I
have a king ready to be bound; a queen I'm in the process of hand
quilting; a top from a paper-pieced class I want to finish up (and I'm
past the paper piecing, just have pinwheel blocks to make and put the
balance of the top together) and need to purchase fabric for a twin
I'll be doing for my niece and then get that going. Plus I have a few
things I've bought at shows to try. Plus a quilt a friend gave me
that she started and hates. All that's left to do is the quilting and
binding and she gave me everything for it. Oh, and my BOM from my
LQS.
I don't usually have this many projects going simultaneously. Too
much to think about for me but I started some traditions and felt
compelled to keep them up along with all the other stuff I've been
working on. I don't have enough room to have multiple projects being
cut and sewn at the same time so I'm trying to at least get the one
top done before I start on the next quilt.
I say whatever works for you as to what to work on when. For me,
sometimes I'm in the mood to piece; sometimes to quilt; etc. I do
usually try to piece when DH is not home and since I do my quilting
while watching TV I can do that while he's home and we're watching the
tube so I'm usually able to multi-task reasonably well - at least at
the moment. Then, sometimes I'm not in the mood to do either!
Good luck!

I currently have 4 bed-size quilts in progress -- 2 I have simply put
away for a while, 1 I am anxious to get back to by November, and 1 I
am pushing to finish in October. There are two more I want to start
but am holding off on even looking at, and one tote bag to make. I
never have more than one project going when I am knitting, but
quilting just seems to proliferate somehow!

If "working on" includes designing and in my mind getting colors
figured out, then there are many.
In actuality I just bound my niece's baby quilt [due end of Nov], have
the top done and need to tie it [little boy's baby quilt due in Nov],
two more baby quilts waiting to start [both due in March]. May be
starting a wedding quilt for a co-worker. There are always projects to
do.
