Right now I have 2 baby quilts ready to be sandwiched and quilted, a Christmas lap quilt I am doing big stitch on and 2 sets of 4 placemats for DIL and GD. Plus many mug rugs, microwave bowl holders and pot holders in the works. I never have to feel the, "what am I going to do today" feeling. Always something to pick up.

Mmmm, lets see...I just finished a disappearing nine-patch yesterday, and am enjoying seeing it hang on the stair railing today. I have a Grandmother's Fan waiting to be assembled. I have a bordered stars with a piano border sandwiched and waiting for quilting. I have a Bargello waiting (a long time) to be sandwiched, and a scrappy four-patch waiting to be enlarged (maybe) and sandwiched.
There are other various projects that I just didn't finish, for one reason or another. We won't talk about them.

I'm with Kenmoregal...I don't like having UFO's hanging over my head. My husband has finally started wearing off on me! I usually start and finish one at a time, but right now (due to some deadlines, etc) I have one I am hand quilting, 1 baby quilt top ready to be quilted, and 1 I am pulling fabric for. (November birthday gift, got to get moving!) I have 1 true UFO, a fusion quilt (fabric squares crocheted together) that I just ain't liking, so it is on the back burner until I get motivated to finish it. I do have some orphan blocks that will go into something else when I have the need for them. Unfinished things tend to cause me some stress until they are done, so I've learned to just finish them before moving on.

I like to not count quilt tops waiting to be quilted, I've got about 25 of them at last count.

I typically only work on one top at a time, and get it to "ready to quilt" stage before starting another. But then I have 3-4 really long term projects (near UFO's) that I pull out when I'm done with one top and not quite sure what I want to start for the next one. They are ones that are very time consuming, and after several days I'm ready to move on.

I have some BSOs: Barely Started Objects, mostly from classes. I also have some PPs:Problem Projects that I haven't found the solutions for yet. Then there are a few FPs:Forgotten Projects that are languishing somewhere or other. Now ask me how many projects are started only in my head!

I only work on piecing one quilt at a time, however I do have a few that are waiting their turn on my longarm, I’m trying to figure out what my excuse for not getting them on there is......but I do vow to have them all done by years end!

I have had as many as six when they are medium to large. The little wall hangings that I'm doing right now, I just counted today. There are eleven.

Oh, I so envy those of you who do not have a pile of UFO's!!!! My last count was around 70 (from memory, because I couldn't put my hands on them if my life depended on it). I don't think I've ever wondered what I would work on next! LOL!

I'm currently working on three tops, all patchwork.
I'm currently making bed toppers rather than bed quilts.
We have two little doxies that sleep with us and I decided toppers would be much more attractive than an old sheet, and with topper I can also enjoy seeing the top and bottom of whichever quilt I have on the bed.

Win win :)
