I like to have one quilt in the frames, so that I can sit and hand quilt as I want, and have another one in the cutting, piecing stage to keep the creative juices flowing. It also gets me up and moving around so my back and legs don't get stiff. I don't think my psyche would let me start another one before the first was finished and out of the frames.

I have probably 10 UFO's. I try to finish one before starting on a new project, but it doesn't always happen. I just finished putting together my Thimbleberries project from several years ago - now to get it onto the longarm - hopefully by the end of the year. I am new to longarm quilting and am a little afraid to jump into this project. I was telling my daughter I was going to send it out and she shook her head and told me I HAD TO DO IT MYSELF or I would always send them out. I told my longarm quilter about it and she said not to panic, she has a quilt that has been waiting 8 years for her to do because she is afraid of it - and she is a great longarm quilter!!!!

I'm with Dunster! I like to finish one, then start another as a reward. That way I don't have a whole bunch of UFO's on hand taking up space that is premium in our motorhome. However, that being said, I am working on two BOM's while getting my other singular projects done one at a time.

Have finished each quilt before starting the next one; so far, I've only made four quilts. Tend to put quite a lot of time deciding on a project (who it will be for, colors they like, does it fit their personality, etc.). Also, I don't have a dedicated sewing room; just take over the dining room (& at times the living room too).

I have to finish what I am working on before I cut out another project.
