I keep telling myself that I can't start a new project until I finish my UFO's, and I started another one last night......I am a mess...I know I have 3 completed tops, 2 almost complete, and 2 where the blocks are done and I just have to sew the blocks together...and last night I started a new one.

I am addicted.....

Is that a bad thing??? :)

I'm not seeing the problem here!?!!!

DON'T STOP!! :)

I feel your pain. I have been really good about not starting too many with out finishing. I just tell myself the sooner I get this one finished the sooner I can start the next one. My husband keeps telling me "what are you making another quilt for the closet is full" lol. I just tell him he doesn't need another tool or tool box. that usually shuts him up.

So, what's the problem? I just got my long arm up and running and wanted to practice on something. I had 2 QFK's and a jelly roll 1600 I had put together. Did all 3 of those yesterday and now don't have anything to practice on. So now I have to make more quilts. Aw shucks, do I HAVE to ?!?!? :roll: :lol: :roll: You really NEED to have several projects in various stages of completion to keep your brain active. I used to think it should be just one project at a time. How wrong I was :!: :?

:thumbup:

i dont think you are alone in this quandry lol

I think some of us just may understand! lol :thumbup:

Join the club! It's a sickness. lol

There's another way to go????? :lol: :lol: :lol:

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Well maybe stop counting. LOL It helped me.

Only 3 completed tops???? :D :D :D

you just have to live a lot longer to get everything done. Right now I'm aiming for about 200

Pat

Maybe quit counting your UFO's-! It helped me! :)

Is there such a thing as Quilter's ADD?

If so, I think it would show itself as starting more projects than you ever finish.

I suspect a lot of us have it. ;)

Welcome to my world, what's wrong with this???

DO NOT let anybody try an intervention. It wil be fruitless!!!! LOL

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

and the problem is????????

Sounds just like me, just go with the flow..... :wink: :D:D:D

You mean that isn't normal?

Thank goodness, I am not alone in my addiction!!!

um, and your problem is... ??? LOL Welcome to the CLUB!!! Look at it this way ~ it keeps us out of the bars, and it is a hobby that while highly addictive, creates beautiful treasures to warm the heart & soul, and be treasured for years... that my story, and I'm stickin' 2 it! :shock:

You Are Not Alone ...

You can practise on mine lol

You are not alone because it sounds like the norm for a QUILTER! :o)

I make so much mess, just plotting out a new top that it is impossible for me to be doing more than one at a time...oops, I guess I am, piles on floor for "good to be square", waiting for arrival of more background fabric, and then there is a pile over on the side of the cutting table where I put my crazy quilt squares when I finish one and, oh gee, the house pile for BOM and that is the stuff you can see. Now in my mind, it is really cluttered because there is the log cabin packed away, there is the green box with the red, green and yellow fabric for another top and, and.....well, you know.

Carrie,
I have several WIP's but no UFO's. I need to be stimulated so have things to go to when my current project get boring. Repeat after me:- " I do NOT have UFO's I have WIP's. I'm creative. "

I don't see a problem. I have so many and I just don't worry about it.

You have a lot of COMPANY!!!!!

Let the project fit your mood--somedays the careful matching of corners and points will meet your need for order in the world, somedays cutting pieces will help you relax, and, even ironing that great new fabric might let you smooth out the wrinkles in your world. I can understand the 'one project at a time' quilters, but I love it all, and my work space shows it. piecefully, the old one

I SOOOO feel your pain! I have several ummm WIP(?)- OK OK UFO's and I just started a new project yesterday. I have blocks from a swap in a pile , I'm working on blocks for this month's swap, I started a Hunter's Star for my DD (just to see how I liked the pattern) , and I am planning a graduation quilt for my niece for June. Yesterday I started my first block for the Affairs of the Heart Cybersew here on the board. The blocks are gorgeous and I couldn't resist. My DH came upstairs at bedtime and asked about the progress of the block (which was going well) and then asked incredulously "Is all of that quilt handwork?", and looked at me like I'm crazy. Hmm - maybe you have to be a bit crazy to be a quilter-LOL!!

Don't feel bad. We all have several projects going on. I think we all like the excitment of starting a new project. My mom doesn't quilt but she does multiple craft projects going on at one time. So I think it's normal.

Can we see them when they are done? Happy Sewing!

I feel your pain.

That sounds perfectly normal to me.

I think we're twins if not we sure do things the same way :thumbup:

no that's the way it is!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if misery loves company, I am your company! I am currently on a very tight budget, and it is killing me every time I see another project I want to do. It is however, good for clearing out all my UFO's, PIG's, WIP's...

Love your avatar.

Join the crowd!!! hahahah!!!

You sound like me. I think about all of the different colors I can do the pattern in and next thing I know another top is underway..
