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

I think I have to many to count. The ones that I can see are a paper pieced, a wall hanging, a bed runner that needs to be sandwiched and quilted, another one that is sandwiched but needs quilting. I have other ones in progress but don't know what I need to do with them. Guess I have alot of UFOs.

Guilty too. I have 2 tops waiting to be quilted and 1 set of blocks ready to be sashed. I got distracted with the cute little shirt tissue holders and a couple of thread catchers. I won't say how many UFO's I've got squirreled away.

It's the only way I can stick to quilting at all. I get things done frequently, but in a very random way. One day I'm full of enthusiasm for one thing, and the next it will be something else. I give priority to things that have some sort of deadline, such as things I promise to do for the guild, or something for a birthday or other gift, but I don't feel the least apologetic for doing what I feel like doing most of the time. Quilting is my hobby to follow as I please.

Oh goodness - I have one in almost all of the phases. One is being pieced and on the design wall. One is ready for sandwiching and basting. 2 are basted and ready to quilt and 2 are ready for binding. It all depends on what I'm in the mood to do. I'm on a binding kick lately and have finished binding 3 lap quilts in the last 2 weeks. Proud of myself for that

Yes. In an ideal world, (do let me know if you find the portal to that world, won't you?) I would have my main piecing project, my leader/ender project, my UFO Challenge, one maybe two BOMs, my embroidery project and my hand quilting.
So, what's going on in the real world? I'm currently piecing Abbey Road -- a Turning Twenty pattern, I'm hand quilting my DWR, I have a applique project in '100s' of pieces scattered between the ironing board and design wall. I have fallen 3 and 4 months behind on my BOMs, but I am current on my UFO Challenge. My leader/ender project has gotten to the point it requires a bit of thinking. I have a bit of prep work before I can work on my next embroidery block.
But then yesterday I pulled out a stack of quilt tops to see what needed backing and I have a stack of 4 quilts which need the backings pieced and another 4 that I need to purchase fabric for.
I'm going to try and finish Abbey Road in the next day or two then get back to the applique project this weekend.
BTW -- we won't talk about the rest of the quilts patiently waiting for me to finish piecing them or the quilt tops waiting to be quilted.

You bet! Today I finished a baby quilt for a friend's daughter and now I will go back to the one that needs more fmq and binding. Or I'll do some garment sewing with the fabric that's sitting on the sewing table just ready to be cut.
