I think I have like 12 or so that I work on . I get tired of the same fabric and so I put it away and start working on another one. Now I'm talking about the quilting. My MIL gave me maybe 14 quilt tops before she died and then I start quilting them. I hand quilt . So don't feel bad about having more than one quilt going at a time. Do it how YOU like to work not the way someone else does it.
