christina, i like your system. I get bored too. It's that I love the fabrics and piecing and all, but all the math involved in quilting is the work part. I might have erred in that I am doing my first "real" quilt for my granddaughter and I designed it myself instead of using a pattern, so now I am taking parts of block apart to "square" up rows.
I rotate projects, but I like the way you keep something close by and jump to it often. I might try that. sounds like fun and might energize me. thanks for sharing that. C
