Depending on my mood--do I need instant gratification? or can I delay it a bit?--I choose either the one that needs the least work or the one that needs the most work. Sometimes, I will decide (yes, it's a decision) to complete one step only on a project that I can't seem to face. Before you know it, that project is done and ready to be quilted. Just start and don't worry about all the others; they can wait their turn. 8^)
