I usually piece only one at a time but I do have about 9 finished tops that need to be quilted.

It depends on the project for me. I have 2 that travel with me (redwork, and apple core quilt) and they will get done ... eventually. At home I like to finish a project before starting another, unless they are related.

Definitely more than one project at a time! :oops: :lol:

I have several things going at the same time. When my sewing room is such a mess, I tell myself that I'm going to finish all the WIP and then only do one thing at a time. Well I've been saying that for a few years and still hasn't happened.

My daughter says 'normal' is a setting on the washing machine, not a description of people!

And yes, I do have several in various stages of completion going at any given time.

Yup- it all counts haha :D

It freaks me out when I have too many things going at once. Right now is one of those times. I have 7 quilts in various stages and that is about 5 too many.

I can have them in line but not started and that doesnt stress me out. But once I start them I need to finish them.

Im in this pickle because I messed one up really badly and had to stop to re-group, one is a BOM, two (identical for gifts) are slightly short of fabric (going shopping this weekend and that will be resolved), one I lost interest in (BORING), one just got pushed aside.

I dont know how you all keep all these things going at once. A talent I must not have.

I know... If I had multiple quilts cut out in my sewing room at the same time iI would wind up mixing up the fabrics somehow - I just know it! I'm not that organized :)
