I usually spend all my quilting time on one project, not working on more than 1 at a time. I spent 3 days making easy tote bags. Then I spent 2 days practicing my stitching on a line with a plain baby panel. I tell ya, I didn't get much better with practice. lol

Now I'm stuck on what to do next. I know what I want to do, but I don't have the fabric yet. I could make more tote bags, but I'd like to try something different.

If you're like me and only work on one project at time, do you have another waiting in the wings, all ready to start?

I usually have a couple of projects going: small like a laptop bag, a wall hanging, and a large handquilting project (haven't worked on it all summer, waiting for cooler weather) oh and a couple of table runners. Hmmm--I'm busier than I thought LOL.

I do several at once, but I always have something waiting.

I only work on one at a time. I'm afraid if I don't finished it I might have unfinished quilts laying around. I have quilts in waiting all the time and always looking for sales on future projects.

I always have projects in my head that I want to do but unfortunately due to time constraints they stay as ideas for a long time. I usually have more than one project on the go but I also try to complete them within a reasonable time so that the next one can begin :) Often my ideas are more than my sewing time allows. :)

I always have too many started but it keeps me busy. I like it that way.

I try to work on one project at a time only because I hate UFO's. The other day I started a Christmas table runner from a new pattern I had never used, messed it up and didn't have enough fabric to make another one; can't find the same fabric anywhere so I need to go back to the shop where I got the fabric. Anyhow, then started on a wrap skirt for my neighbor and couldn't finish it till she tried it on to make sure my home-made pattern was right. Then started a Quilt for Kids quilt when the phone rang to pick up my grandson. Needless to say now I have 3 UFO's to work on this weekend. My brain is always working on something new.
