I had trouble with the same thing - needing to finish one before starting the next. I've finally been able to justify having 2 projects . . . now even 3 going at the same time. Here is how I did it :) I'm working on a Civil War quilt for me at home - it's the Marcus Brothers Civil War Tribute Quilt so it's a pretty big project. I also do charity quilts for Quilts for Kids and my local Quilt Guild. I switch between 2 at home - the Civil War and a charity one. Just recently, I purchased a Janome 3/4 size machine that I sew on at lunch. I can piece a top (bringing it home to do the ironing and cutting/recutting) in a week during lunch. Since I can finish the charity ones really quickly, I feel like I'm getting something accomplished while working on the longer project!
