I actually only work on one quilt at a time. There are stacks of
other projects sitting around, but only one in progress. I'm working
on a pink/brown/green/cream Miss Rosie quilt that is both pieced and
appliqued. I do have my Over the River to bind, but I'm not counting
that since it will be done today and go into the store for a few weeks
of display.
Now when it comes to knitting, that's a whole different story. I try
to have at least 2 going at once--one on large needles, one on small.
That way, when my hands get tired, I can switch off.

I usually have a hand project and a machine project going. Right now I'm
almost done machine quilting a stack'n'whack lap quilt. I bound it after
I had done SITD between the blocks and borders, so when I finish the
quilting, it's done. I'm also finishing up the hand quilting on my
Adoration wall hanging. I just have the border left. I also have several
tops to be quilted, a crib quilt that needs a border, and a posy four
patch that I started at a retreat last year and has to have the rows of
blocks sewn together. I've got a lot of other projects that I have
planned, including the fabric: a couple jackets for me, "big-girl" bed
quilts for the 2 youngest granddaughters, a crib quilt for the grandbaby
due in Feb, and a bag for my daughter. But the next project after I
finish the current quilt is a "Dorothy" dress for the oldest
granddaughter's birthday next month. I have the fabric and pattern for
that and I hope it goes quickly. I'm not going to run out of things to
do at any time soon.

Bonnie, I also have several in progress:
Quilted Diamonds (long-term project with no real deadline)
Hand appliquéed floral -- needs quilting
Landscape -- needs embellishment :O and binding/facing
Mini TATW -- needs quilting
Machine silk ribbon embroidery -- the newest, just begun in class on
Saturday
Floral top -- fabrics and supplies gathered, need to get this made for a
class in January
I hate having this many going at once, but sometimes it just "happens".

<g> Luckily, the two classes I'll be taking in Houston are technique
classes, rather than project classes, so that won't add to the list.
LOL! One of them, in fact, will probably help me get around to finishing
the hand appliquéed piece. Oh, and BTW, all of these projects are small!

Hi Bonnie,
Just my $.02... It depends on your habits/personality. If you're the
kind of person that never (or rarely) finishes what they start, then I
think I'd exercise some discipline and stick with one or two until
they were finished before taking on any more.
OTOH, if you generally do finish things, I wouldn't worry about it.
Timeliness may be a significant factor/criterion.
Doc

No, you don't have a problem! And that's what I tell myself all the time.
I have a table runner I'm preparing for a church bazaar, a double wedding
ring hand-piecing project that I work on when we travel, three quilts made
from swap blocks ready to be quilted, three sets of blocks from swaps ready
to be put together into tops, a wedding quilt for my nephew (married in May
2008) ready to be quilted, a wedding quilt for my niece (married October
2008 and I haven't even started cutting this one yet!), and four tops I
bought off eBay to be quilted. But other than that, I think I have things
under control! Oh, and there's one quilt in the process of being machine
quilted - I almost forgot that one! Oops, and my purple quilt that I've
started cutting out and will probably go to charity. But that's all -
really!
