I have got so many projects I want to do, how do I decide which one to do next? This is getting me down as I want to do them all....... :?

Start with the one that will go the quickest, then you will be so excited, you will move on to the next one, and the next one, and........ you get the idea, lol! Have fun!

Just start!!!! :thumbup:

I usually have at least half a dozen projects going in various stages of completion. So just dive in on any one of them and at least get it cut, maybe cut two or three...

You could just leave it to the quilting gods. Close your eyes and grap something and that's the project you were meant to start. Have fun.

I would do the one I like the least to get it out of the way for the others.

I'm in the same dilemma. I finished my doll quilt swaps last week and a bow tucks purse yesterday and thought, "what now"?

So I made a list. Of course at the top is the fall table runner for my partner, Farmer's Wife quilt blocks (I am trying to do 5 a week), another Bow Tucks bag, a City Girl bag for school, finish restoring my Singer treadle, 34 more pillowcases, 2010 BOM's, and this is before school starts in three weeks. Then I have decided to make Christmas gifts this year as we really don't need anything but want some nice handmade items.
I also keep track of the swaps I am in here so I don't get overwhelmed or underachieved. I am trying to limit myself to three swaps at a time and have several projects going at a time as I get bored with one project so this way I can change back and forth at will.
Hope this helps.

I have kits and fabrics all around. If there is not a quilt someone is waiting for (and usually there is) I pick the one that will challenge me.

I've been very overwhelmed lately. Last night I cut out 15 daisies for a quilt I got from Connecting Threads. It's my first kit. Cutting out the daisies made me feel better. We're traveling soon and I want something to do in the car.
I love needleturn applique and will get those blocks done. The rest will be pieced.
Believe me, I know the feeling. You aren't alone!!
Sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I freeze and don't do anything. I hate that :(

Well I only have about 12 projects in process and I just started a new one last night LOL I work on whichever quilt strikes my fancy at the time. I used to DREAD the part where I would have to actually quilt the quilt since I could never master that on my home machine. For this reason I never could bring myself to finish a top since if it's not finished yet, it doesn't have to be quilted yet!! LOL But I will be getting a longarm in a few days, so now I want to finish them all!! :)

I find it best to make a list of all my WIPS and I list out what I have left to do with them, I will just go down the list and finish the ones that are closest to being done and go from there.

Cheers!

Rachel: I hear you loud and clear! For so many years, I have been starting projects and finishing a few, and "storing" the remainder for a later date. I have JUST purchased a long arm, and I LOVE it! I have practised by creating some baby blankets for our neonatal intensive care unit, and now that I am content with where I am, I am anxious to really start quilting.....only one problem, In getting ready to welcome my new "child", I have relocated absolutely everything in my sewing room,and I can't find what I am looking for. Now it seems I have to finish tidying my room before I can start quilting.... Seek and I will find....I hope.!

I have so many i get side tracked. i was about to press a sunbonnet sue top and add borders when i found an old stack of flower petal blocks. the 'petals' are left over from drunkards path blocks. melon shaped that make great flowser petals. now the petals are all sewn down to the background. which one to do next?? sue and then the sam and sue calendar top. all swap blocks from long,long ago.

I know the feeling. I have so many projects lined up and choosing is so overwhelming I end up doing nothing.

Yeh Gale, I think thats what happens to me, I get overwhelmed and do nothing. :shock:

Thanks Suzan, I will try that solution

Thanks sewcrafty, I will start and enjoy :thumbup:

Thanks wvdeck, I envy your enthusiasm and passion, good luck with your projects.

haha a new problem!! :) Luckily I didn't have to move any sewing stuff to put mine in (My sewing stuff is in a whole different room), so hopefully I won't have any problem finishing tops. Though I may spend too much time playing on the new toy to find time to make tops. :) there's always a reason right?
