Gee, I can not do one project at a time......I have SEVERAL going all at once!

Whatever works best for you :D This is supposed to be a fun, relaxing and enjoyable hobby :wink:

I always have several projects going at a time... or at the very least a bunch of practice blocks of various techniques :D:D:D

I really LIKE to complete one before starting another, but have 5 in the works right now. I'm going to finish #5 and then backtrack to the other 4. The other 4 are quilt tops that need to be sandwiched and quilted. Sandwiching is a job that I don't like, so I procrastinate.

I seem to piece one project at a time, but I'll have several tops in the quilting queue. I have OTHER projects (knitting, art, etc) going on at the same time as a quilting project - does that count?

I usually have several projects going at one time, not counting the ones in my head! If I counted those.. well, I would have 50 or more going! And be buried in fabric.
So, 3 to 5 projects keeps me from getting bored and they all move along.

Oh, Lord! we better NOT be counting projects in the head or just "on paper" - I probably have more than I'll manage to get done in my lifetime.

Sometimes I work on one project until it is finished. Sometimes I have to take a break from an intense project and work on something with less brain work and that could be two project besides the one already started.

Sometimes I will put a project on hold for a year lol and get back to it and finish it...it all depends what I feel up to that day or that moment.

I find that some projects keep me excited that I must finish it first and so on.....

i'm too ADHD to have just one project at a time. however, i do actually force myself to finish projects within a set time frame. i try for 3 months from start to finish, not counting the time it's spinning in my head with colors & patterns. currently i have 3 projects going and a few in planning stages.

Isn't multi-tasking suppose to be a good thing ???? :)

I work on lots of projects and have lots of UFOs. I also work on customer's quilts on the long arm. Don't know the norm but I have never been normal.
