This is a bit unusual for me, as I am working on some Christmas presents...usually I have 1 or 2 in various stages of completion, but at the moment I have no fewer than 6! Thankfully 2 are nearly done (just the binding and a label), and one is a block of the month for me...
|
I have a challenge that has to be finished by end of year -- we were given a yard of fabric and must use all of it. I have opted to do several small projects and one larger one. I just finished a big project (a tote for my Viking 6430 so I can take it with me to classes and UFO). In October we have a lock-in. It starts at 3:00 p.m. Friday and ends at 7:00 a.m. Saturday (16 hours of uninterrupted sewing) except for potluck and door prize drawings. Have lots of cutting prep to accomplish in the next four weeks.
|
Well presently I'm piecing on four but I'm finding that it"s way too many.. I do like several at a time for the variety. Three of the four are baby quilts so hopefully I can complete them soon. As far as UFOs it's around ten.
|
Let's put it this way - I have half of a cabinet devoted to UFO's!
Quilting is my hobby that I do for fun, so I don't stress too much about whether or not I'm finishing things or not. I do what I feel like doing, when I feel like doing it. It all gets done eventually. :) |
Too many. LOL
|
I have 9 wall hanging projects going right now, all on the front burner. I even took on 2 more and stuck them ahead of the 9, so it's really 11. All fabric is out in project stacks. My apartment looks like a fabric store. And I feel stressed.
|
I'm currently quilting a baby quilt that I made for a GS friend's first grandchild, due in October, so had to set the lap quilt top I was piecing for my DIL aside. Hope to finish those blocks next week and piece the top for that. I probably won't quilt it though until later as our daughter just announced she is pregnant with her first. Naturally I went right out and bought the fabric for that. I bought the pattern at least 7 years ago, before she even was seriously dating LOL. It was perfect for her. I even have left over Minkie from the backing on the previous baby quilt, to make a small tag blanket (18" square) for travel. This is the story of my life, and I suspect a lot of yours: you have good intentions and then something pops up to interrupt your plans. My brain always works faster than my quilting, so I am never lacking for projects. I don't even want to count the UFOs and PIGS that are set aside for that someday when I have nothing else to work on.
|
Oh my!! I have 2 baby quilts on my couch now basted and ready to quilt. I have one quilts for kids halfway done, I have a jacobs ladder top half pieced and I have started cutting another baby quilt. When I get tired of one I just move to the other ha ha ha

|
I have 6 in progress now, one ready to quilt and 4 tops done and 1 more to put together. They are all for Christmas.
|
I have two going now. A Christmas gift for DD and a baby quilt for my first great grand baby a girl.
|
i have two needing quilting right now. can't seem to get going. then many more projects after that. and Christmas is coming!!
|
I have several UFO's also. Part of my problem is getting on the internet and seeing so many cute free patterns and deciding I need to make them even though I have plenty waiting. And then there are the swaps I like to join but shouldn't. And, other types of hand work, like hexies or embroidery or tatting, that I work on in the evening. Wish I were more disciplined and completed one before going on to the next, perhaps that will be my New Years resolution.
|
When you say "going," what do you mean? Actively being worked on, even if it's only a bit here and there? Or would you consider my projects that are fermenting/aging/in time out as "going"? ;)
|
I am with you, several projects going on at the same time, not to mention the 5 quilts that need to be quilted!
|
My weaving habits have followed me into the quilting world. Right now I have a bargello that is all basted, just waiting to be quilted, bound, and hanging pockets made for it. I am also doing sew-alongs here, the new monthly Quilting Bee and the 17th mystery train. I don't consider the last two UFO'S, they are WIP - works in progress.
It is the same in my weaving loft, all of the looms are currently occupied with WIP's, it is the same way with the sewing piles, 2 bags started there, and both pieces of braiding equipment has projects. I like a lot of variety and I really enjoy bopping from project to project and quilting has just joined my personal round-robin that goes on in my house. I just recently told someone that I no longer live in a house, I live in a fiber studio:D |
Without considering UFOs (quilts that have stagnated in some stage for more than 6 months), I have:
- 150 Canadian Women - 78 of 150 blocks made - 2 mystery quilts (PEI Modern Guild mystery, times 2) I just finished my most recent project, and that's actually a low "in progress" count for me. Waiting for the rest of my guilds to decide what their annual project is. I'll generally join most/all of those once they get started. Plus Bonnie Hunter is coming soon, so that'll be another mystery on the books. The UFO count was over 30 last time I checked (mostly waiting to be quilted). |
Too many to count, unfortunately. So much fabric, so little time.
|
Eight, at the moment... :shock:
|
I wouldn't know where to start counting. Especially since I am involved in Blocks of the Week and Blocks of the Month and different classes I've taken over the years. No --- I can't even hazard a guess as to how many I have going right now!
|
I have seven in varying stages of completion. I need to finish a baby quilt for my first great grand--ready to quilt, but sickness has prevented me from quilting. Hope to begin this week.
|
I have a lot of hand made tops (flimsy) that need to be quilted. I really don't like to hand quilt and can't afford the $200.00 or more per top for a long arm quilter. I will begin to learn to quilt with my machine next week; hopefully I can learn quickly, I love doing the tops...get so excited when I start a new one.

I have no UFOs. I finished a quilt last night, I've begun cutting a table runner today. I envy your discipline. I just picked up my sewing after a two year hiatus with every intention of finishing 5 partially finished quilts. I've completed two, finished one top and darn if I didn't start another using scraps! I'll never finish this way. Oh., and did I tell you I've also ordered a pattern for that lovely labryinth quilt currently being shown here on the board. I |
Right now, I have at least four quilts, king size plus~ Three of the four will be machine qui;ted, and one will be hand-quilted. I must get them done before Christmas -- that's the deadline I've set for myself. These are special quilts, and I really want them finished so I can gift them before Christmas.
