I have a Christmas tree skirt and 3 tops to be quilted, piecing a Cancer t-shirt lap robe, and my daughters friend wants a 'Weighted Blanket' for her daughter. Normally I work on one at a time before starting a new project.

I've finished my table runner, now I'll move on to something else. |
Wow, I wish I had that mindset. I NEVER have one thing finished before I move on. Maybe that's a new goal for me for next year!
The only catch for me is that I sometimes get bored in the middle of a project so I like having more than one going at a time. But I have way more than one! :D |
I used to finish one project at a time. Then my mental list started to grow and I'd start just cutting.. then just piecing... then oh well. I have several tops to quilt (about 15), I'm quilting one now on embroidery machine and always working on a scrappy quilt
|
I'm piecing one and the fabric for the next one just came in yesterday. :-) I just go from one project to another. I used to work on several at a time, but it upset my DH, so I went down to just one (most of the time) & now he even tells me about sales & buys me fabric & notions! It's really worked out for me! ;-)

I have 5 Christmas stockings and 3 Thanksgiving table toppers started -- I found a couple of UFOs that I packed before my move 3 years ago, but lost them again as I was "organizing things". Will have to go on a treasure hunt once I get the new projects done. :)

"Working on" is a phrase I'd use verrrry loosely to describe the effort I'm putting forth on quilts. Motivation kind of plummeted 3 months ago when my mom died.
But...let's see 1. Houses quilt. 2. Log cabin 3. Monkey 4. Jigsaw puzzle 5. Birdies 6. Basketweave 7. Paisley baby So 7. I'm actively working on pillowcases. |
I just finished up 8 for donation. I made all the tops. Sandwiched all of them, then quilted all of them. Basted around the edges, sewed binding onto the back. Yesterday I machine sewed all bindings onto the front.
Normally I totally finish one quilt before starting another. These were kid sized and all scrappies. I don't have room for UFOs. |
Do you mean actual quilts, or are you including quilted projects such as bags/totes, table runners etc. 10-15?

I have a baby quilt ready to be quilted, a double bed size ready to be quilted, a throw size cut and and started piecing the squares, 64 have done 5. And then I have a quilt as you go sampler quilt which needs sewing together, 24 blocks and I've done around 4. I've struggled a bit with motivation this year but I am determined to end the year with everything done and only WIP's left.
