Good question. I usually have two in progress. I have the two BOM quilt blocks from last year finished (was finished in December 2013). I put one of them together and it is ready for sandwiching and quilting. This one will be tied as it was a learning process. I learned that I can actually make some blocks that used to scare me away. The second one is on hold because I started a special Christmas project of making 4 Christmas Tree wall hangings. I am ready to assembly these ... woohoo! When they are finished I will go back to the BOM quilts and get them finished and out of the way. I have a bucket list of quilts I want to make!
Good luck and happy quilting!
