Love your idea. This also puts less stress on the same muscles. And yes I can use a fresh eye on stitching. Thanks,

Many thanks to all that responded. I feel that I'm not weird for having more than one project going at a time. That said I have four going right now so it is off to the sewing room for me. Perfect quilting weather here, wind is blowing like all get out, snow is falling sideways; so off to my safe haven.

I get bored and burnt quick. I go from one project to the next then back around.

I always have 3 projects in process. Hand finishing one, piecing another, and cutting the pieces of the third. Each has a plastic container labeled Project #1, Project #2, and Project #3 with the pattern, threads, fabric etc in it. Used those until the actual quilt gets to big. This way when I get flustered with a small issue or a big one, I put that one away and work on the next one and come back later and always, I have figured out what the issue was on the flustered one. I am a retired teacher of 4th through 6th grade students so I guess that makes it easier to multitask and I am NEVER bored!!!!

I definitely switch between projects, especially if one project is giving me fits and problems. By doing another, sometimes easier project, I can clear my head and when I get back to the first project I'm good to go.

I work on several projects at a time too. I always have a hand project to do in the evenings so I can sit with hubby, but I love, hanging out in my sewing room. I never get bored. I just wish I had more time to do it all.

I can't work on multiple projects. I've made major errors in the past or lost my train of thought and forgotten what my plans were.

I usually have two or more quilts going at the same time. I'm like this with books, too. Can't read only one at a time.
So no, you are not alone!
