Do you have multiple projects going or one at a time?

Default Do you have multiple projects going or one at a time?

I am working on 7 different quilts right now---6 for my grandchildren, and one for Quilts for Kids! Two of the quits just need to be quilted, one is ready for borders, one is half sewn, and 3 of them have been cut out.

Do you work on multiple projects or one at a time?

i always have multiple projects under way. if i get bored or need to think about the next step for a while, i can work on another project in the meantime.

I have 4 in progress right now. I have a short attention span and I work better this way.

Ideally, I would have 4 projects going at any one time.
1. In process of quilting
2. UFO in progress (I have many UFOs and this is how I get them done now).
3. Swap or Quilt-a-long
4. Whatever draws my attention - be it new, UFO or in process.

I am eliminating #3 for the rest of the year due to too much on my plate, but it's a good plan! I don't usually precut projects since I always do test blocks and rarely do 2 of the same project at the same time.

I am now working on 2 quilts. I envy the people who can work on 4 to 7 at a time. I would probably get the pieces all mixed up.

I used to do one thing at the time but over the last couple of years have more than one going at the time. I have 3 in the works right now.

Always! Currently I have my son's quilt. To distract me from that when I get bored, I am recycling T-shirts into ruffled pillows and a rag rug.

Guilty!! I usually have something to machine, something to hand-work at night and something in the planning stages. Currently am making purses for the daughters, embroidery squares to make a quilt and planning a music quilt for granddaughter.

I am working on piecing two quilts, have two ready for binding and am doing 4 Block of the Month blocks each month. I have just returned from vacation so I am behind on 2 BOM; however, I did complete one hand appliquéd BOM while on vacation. I got home an hour ago and can't wait to get back to all of my projects.
