I am making a "summer" quilt for our bed, but that one got put on the back burner while I make a baby quilt for our new grandbaby who is due in May.
Sometimes I get started on one quilt and I get bored with it, or find I am having trouble with it and I just need to walk away from it for a while and come back a couple months later and look at it with fresh eyes.
So I always have several quilting projects going at once.

When cutting with a rotary cutter, wear shoes and watch your left hand to make sure a finger isn't in the cut area. Mitered corners are not that hard just learn to do them. Mitered borders are a bit harder.

Another tip that I love is to thread a bunch of betweens and leave them on the spool. Pull a length of thread with one needle as you need it, cut the thread and continue quilting. I thread several when I have my contacts out and can actually see the hole in the needle. Saves time and frustration.
