    I have several going on right now. I'm always working on multiple projects.

    In other crafts like knitting and counted cross stitch I usually do have multiple projects going but in quilting I don't. Right now I am cutting fabrics for my next project. But I am also "practicing" machine quilting with my new machine so I can be quilting as well as piecing quilts at the same time.

    Does that count the two I put away for a while because I am sick of them?

    Always have multiple projects in the works, some days I want to hand quilt, some days I want to choose colors and cut pieces, or run them through the sewing machine.

    As a new quilter I'd been really careful not to add to my knitting UFOs and had never started a new project until I'd finished the current one. However I got really fed up of permanently appliquing my large Edyta Sitar quilt to the point I wasn't going near it for days. Fortunately I've 'let go' a little and took time out to make a Two Hour (I wish!!) Tulip bag, which I finished and it's cheered me up no end!
    NOTE TO SELF: Relax a little!

    Normally I only work on one project because I don't have the room otherwise, but this year I'm working on two BOM's and I'm making toddler quilts for great grandchildren and having fun in between with other little projects. I am presently working on a toddler quilt for a 4 yr old girl & I've started with a pinwheel & am designing my way out. Hope to have the top done soon so I can get it done before we meet her.

    I try to do one at a time but right now I'm working on two. . I started cutting out fabric for a pattern I saw on Missouri Star and decided I needed more colors. This one will have to wait for the weekend trip to the fabric store. It's so frustrating not having a fabric shop close. So in the meantime, I started on another one.

    Always more than one going and planning stages for something else to start.

    I usually have multiple projects going too, in various stages and of various complexities. I try to only have one "tricky piecing" quilt top going at a time, I'll offset that with a simpler blocky quilt or strip quilt, and then there's always at least one or two finished tops waiting to be basted, or that are basted waiting to be quilted, or are quilted waiting for binding. I like having lots of options when I walk into my sewing room. And naturally there's always something on the design wall and on my graph paper being created...

    I wouldn't know what to do if I only had one project going at a time! Have two quilt tops ready to be quilted, practicing with Frank (the new machine), piecing a Crazy Diamonds and a pattern of my own devising (more complicated, which is why I am also doing Crazy Diamonds!), and hand quilting another one. (Err... and weaving a shawl, and making a rug, and a few other things).

    I really need to finish some of these things!
