I'm glad you posted this topic...it will give me a chance to list and mentally prioritize my projects. :) Several are for Christmas, but I probably would normally have 2-4 going. I like to cut/prep them and put them in large ziploc bags so I can grab something quickly to work on it.
Active projects:
* 1 quilt that I just finished quilting and need to bind
* 1 quilt that is sandwiched and ready to quilt (hopefully tonight)
* 1 quilt that I started piecing (for me!)
Patiently waiting their turn:
* 2 tops that are done, I need to assemble the back, sandwich, quilt and bind.
* 1 quilt that is cut and ready to sew
* 1 quilt that is not cut yet
* 2 Christmas wallhangings for the kids
* 1 quilt that is partially assembled
Still in the dreaming/planning stage:
* Pink/peachy/yellow either log cabin or french braid quilt
* Mariner's Compass - just got the pattern after trying paper piecing!
* I need to make myself some placemats/table runners - someday!
The reason I jump around is due mostly to my setup. I finally squeezed a few sq. ft. into my bedroom for my machine. It's really cramped and I'm wedged between the bed and closet, so there's no room to quilt, but I can piece blocks there without much aggravation. When I get to the point of needing more space, I need to move out to the dining room. It's my only dining spot, so I have to disassemble for meals. I really can only work on the big stuff on the weekends. So, in order to get my "fix", I work on piecing during the week and quilting when I can on the weekends.
