    When I first started quilting my rule was to finish one project before starting another - well that rule went by the way side long ago. I have more UFO's than I want or need and I am always eager to start the next 'new' project.
    And sometimes I have more than one project going at a time so if I get bored with one, work on the other, that's normal right?

    what is vilesofix ?
    It's like Wonder Under? You use it for appliqué, it's double sided paper backed iron on stuff.

    I like to have several projects going at the same time. I am on block #11 of 12 red work blocks. Started another with 55 5" blocks of wool for applique. Quilt top finished waiting for the back. One quilt waiting for the LAM. August wall hangings waiting to be started. Summer dress I want to make, but summer is very hot and slowly slipping away. Yea, I like several things going on.

    I have 6 or 8 going, I get bored quickly, but I want to be working on something that has to do with quilting 24/7. So this way, I can do what ever I feel like, cut one time, quilt, sew, bind, coloring fabric, applique and I have more than a dozen quilts with all the fabric for that quilt in their own drawers. I make small quilts so it's easy to make one, and have a dozen things in the pot going at all times. And with all the things I'm working on, I only have one UFO, and it's been a UFO for more than 10 yrs now. I just don't know what I want to do with it yet. I lost the original pattern and only have 3 of the 4 blocks I wanted to make.

    I pretty much piece one at a time. However, I do have several tops waiting to be quilted.

    Of course I do. One day they will all come together and I will be done.

    I have many WIPs. Part of it is disorganization, and the fact that I have cat helpers who arrange things for me. And part of it is that I get bored doing the same thing, or I lose steam on projects. But they'll get picked up eventually.

    I haven't been very productive lately, since part of my sewing area has been taken over by the air conditioner, and I'm down in the dumps due to my mother's death. But I think I'm ready to start again... I was going to finish my mother's chemo quilt and give it to her sister, my aunt.

    I can't even count the number of projects I have. I just can't
    wait to start something new.

    Yep. I currently am behind on 2 projects (mystery quilt & a BOM) and need to finish one grandson quilt, the fans I showed y'all several months ago (Hey! don't need them until December!) And completely make another one for December craft raffle. Why oh why do I do this??
