I usually have three projects going. One that is being quilting, one that is needing binding, and one that I am gathering patterns (usually have to adjust them in some way so that they end up not like the quilt pattern I start with), getting the fabrics (after 4 years going on 5 years of quilting) from my stash, if I need one or two fabrics to complete it, I go to the local quilt store or JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby or online to get a missing fabric that I think will work. Fix the pattern and add my own tweek to it, then start cutting, quilt a while and then work on the binding. I like to do the hand-quilting and hand binding in the evening while we are watching TV.
