To many! Can't even count how many in different stages but all ready to go if I need it! I store them by the amount of work that is done.
cut and waiting to piece
some stage of peicing
finished blocks
finished tops
Finished tops W/ backing ready are stored by LAM
ready to bind stored in closet

peace :D

I started off thinking that I was NOT going to start a second project before the first one was done. And it worked like a charm. (that first time! ;) )

I don't even know how many I've got started now, but it's "rightdown disgustin'," as they say around here. ;)

I have a few going. 3 BOM, and 3 other tops. I get board with one and put it away, then pull out another. Plus I always have one in the frame to quilt. I try to quilt a few hours then sew a few hours each day.

There are a few out there who have commented on the board here. I am not one of them. I usually get to one place or another on a quilt and either get stuck or bored. Or sometimes I just get really interested in something new. So I start a new project, with the plan to go back to the previous one, which sometimes happens, sometimes not. And the UFO pile deepens.

I have 2 ufo's now. I will never do this again....I intend to finish one before I start another.

My mind is working too fast....cause I am thinking of how I start the next one and for who!

This is my first time with two at once, too. My goal is get the Jewel Box off the design wall before I need the wall for the Carpenter's Star. If I don't have any more big goofs, I'm good to go.

I'm not counting almost finished UFOs. These two are quilts with deadlines.

I'm slowly working my way through about 15 ufos, having decided that this year I was going to finish those rather than start anything new. I'm trying to focus on one at a time, but quite often have to stop because I need thread, or batting, or backing fabric - so then I'll pick another one up until I can get whatever it is that I need. I don't think I'd ever be down to just one project - I like some variety, sometimes piecing, sometimes quilting, sometimes (occasionally!) handwork. I also prefer to decide on borders, backing fabric and quilting thread when I reach that stage of making the quilt, as my ideas of what I want can change as the top comes together, and I can't afford to buy stuff that I don't then use. So I need to have something else to pick up till I can go shopping or the postman comes!
