Welcome to the wonderful world of quilting. When I first got started I could not imagine not finishing a quilt, or having more than one quilt going on at a time and did not understand how others did it. Now that I have been quilting for awhile, I totally understand how you get more than one going at a time. At the present I have 2 hand quilting UFOs that I am working on and One machine quilting one and I have 2 more that I need to get done by the end of next month. I am so sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you and your family.
