Do most of you work on more than one project at a time?

Right now I have three projects going and it is driving me crazy. Normally I would only work on one project.

Guess I'm kind of odd that way!

I usually have a few in various stages. I have stopped working on piecing until I get the quilting done on 7 tops. I kinda work on what I'm in the mood to do. I love this passion/hobby.:)

I pretty much do one at a time, but I may be planning the next one, or buying fabric for another, but I don't allow myself to actually cut fabric until the current project is complete.

Well.... you have to have one for traveling in the car with; then another for the days you want a challenge; and then another when you just need to sit mindlessly at your machine; and then one when you want to appliqué by hand; and then one when you want to ..... etc.etc....
When I first started quilting I vowed I would only have one project at a time happening, but I've had alot of fun making/finishing etc. projects over the years & hope you continue to work on as many projects as you need to keep you enthused.

I usually have several in different stages. However, once I start piecing I usually keep at it until it is done. I prepare the backing, batting and binding, before I put it in my list of "to be quilted" on my new LA.

I work on multiple projects at one time. I am working on a table runner now, fishing and deer hunters quilt, and a book bag. Depends on the mood I'm in or how hard a project is. I put it down and move on to something else and then come back to it later.

I'm piecing 5, quilting 2, cutting 1 and 2 waiting to be sandwiched. Plus smaller in between projects. When I run out of materials for one I just move on to something else, whilst I'm waiting for supplies to arrive. At the moment I'm waiting for threads and ran out of vliesofix for another one. I always feel like my day is wasted if I don't get any sewing in. Even if it's just a mending job.
