Making 2 identical quilts
 
I have two sets of panels and the fabric to makes these quilts https://www.thesweetteagirls.com/shop/Quilt-Patterns/p/Oriental-Harmony-x18309757.htm andhttp://50.87.217.193/blog/2016/06/fr...fly-waltz.html.

Would it be easier to make them two at a time or just do it one at a time? I've never made two quilts that are the same, but these are my next projects. My fear is that I won't ever get back to the second one.

I know what you mean. I think I would cut all at one time -- make a chart/list of what I need to cut out of which fabrics (for both quilts) and check them off as I go. You could chain-piece the strips of small squares, in pairs, and other sub-assemblies.

You are correct, if you don't do them in unison you'll get bored after doing one and won't want to do another

Followed the link, Love the large one and the floral used.

That's a really pretty quilt. I would probably finish one top before starting on the other. That way I'm less likely to get confused, and I might discover something while making the first one that will help when making the second one. I assume there's a reason for making two identical quilts, so there should be less worry about not following through.

My tendency to is do them both at the same time.
I know what you mean about not finishing the second one.

I've done this twice. Both times I cut out all of the parts and worked on them together.

Unison is the way! I made 2 alike once and never want to do that again! The first was fun and the second was Boring!! If I ever do it again I will do them in unison!

Together at the same time. Making one would be a joy, making the second one would be boring. By doing them at the same time you can "chain" sew and get it done equally.

For your situation, I would cut them both at the same time, so i only had to do the "thinking" once. Then I would sew them one at a time so see the results faster. But that is just me. There is no right or wrong here. BTW, I love your pattern, fabrics, and colors.
