I typically work on just one , otherwise I would never go back and finish. But sometimes if its a particularly tedious one .. I need to break it up and make something I can complete in a single night.

When I first got started - less than a year ago - I pieced tops like crazy. That's the part I like the best. So I ended up with 10 or so pieced tops and had finsihed very few quilts. Then I needed graduation gifts so about half of those got finished.

Now I try to pull out one UFO between other projects and am gradually making progress. But... I have 3 tops I'm currently working on - all got stopped when something more interesting came along. There are about 5 pieced tops that need to be finished. Right now I don't have any deadlines for anything so I'm trying to ignore the kits and jelly rolls and projects I've pulled together that are calling my name and MAKING myself finish those tops.

My dear friend totally finishes one project before going on to another. That works for her, but ... not so much for me!

I have lots of UFO's for the same reason. If I may suggest, try doing a sample block quilt. Lots of different blocks in coordinating colors so at least you would have tried different blocks and can finish them into one quilt.
Have fun and keep on stitching!
peace :D

I have many quilts in all stages of completion. Wish I didn't have so many!

Jumping from quilt project to quilt project seems to be the only exercise I get some days. lol

I work on one project at a time, seems to be easier for me that way.

Thank you all for your input. Now I don't feel so bad.
That Sampler sounds great.
I never knew about those. Will try it tho.

are you having fun? Then you are doing just fine ;-)

I jump around with my projects...but then I'll read 4 different books at the same time for variety too.

That's what keeps it exciting for me.

I always have multiple projects going. Actually, I just saw a great suggestion on a frame quilting mailing list I'm on: one of the ladies doesn't finish her quilts as she goes. Since frame quilting is definitely a skill that needs to be continually practiced, she waits until she has 8-10 tops ready to be quilted and then does them all in a 2-3 week time span. She'll start with one of her charity quilts to 'warm up', then do the quilts from smallest to largest.

I jump around,too. I usually have at least three quilts going at the same time but in different stages and using different techniques. I have an BOM that I'm doing needle turn applique, one that I'm FMQing, a star quilt that I'm machine piecing, and a wall hanging that I'm hand quilting.
