I try to never have more than five projects at a time. I make sure one of them is a hand project. I learned this from my DSIL.

Say what ???
I usually have at LEAST 3-4 tops, blocks and small projects in the works. I get bored if I only work on one thing ... of course I'd probably FINISH more in a timely manner that way LOL :roll:

I have been jumping around because I,m anxious to see what the next one will look like.
I,m a newbie and I want to try so many blocks out.
Should I be doing this?

I never finish one before starting another :). I don't want it to become monotonous and boring, so starting something new allows me to keep my mind fresh.

First of all - you don't need to ask anyone's permission whether you should or shouldn't have numerous projects started.

Second - if there is something wrong loving the design process and having a bunch of projects going at once, they better throw me in jail!!

Others may have mentioned these terms, all of which apply to my sewing room:

PIG'S - Projects In Grocery Sacks

UFO'S - Unfinished Objects

WIP'S - Works In Progress

I am the embarrassed owner of several of the above!!
