I made a lap quilt from that pattern and it was all hand pieced and quilted. Also got a blue ribbon 1st place on it.

When I started I only did one at a time also. But have since changed. I have 6 at the present that I am working on.

1. yellow brick road
2. king size sampler.
3. bug jar converted to antique mason jar quilt
4. baby quilt
5. puppy rag quilt
6. teddy rag quilt
7. mini quilts that need top stitching( 7 of them)
8 cardinal wall hanging
9. heart wall hanging
All in stages of production when my lab sent my kenmore off the table...it no longer sews straight. borrowed a machine a few weeks ago and still haven't turned it on(i now have custody of my grandson...very long sad story..he is 11 months old)

Amemoiry quilt for my brother: on the frame, partially quilted

a charity quilt: need to piece the top, 18 inch blocks, will be tied at a tie and pie party

a crib quilt waiting for quilting for my grandnephew
a quilt top made by my mother and grandmother needs sandwiched, quilted. for my niece

have fabric for a quilt for my sister: haven't really thought a lot about it, not even sure which pattern : maybe a nine patch with an embroidered flower in the center of the blocks?

just finished a fleece crib size with embroidery

have two more cut out. I am cutting the fleece to size, using a decorative stitch around the edge, then a border of machine embroidery and monogram. not realy quilting, but projecyts, nevertheless. I want to make the same for each of my grandkids, but haven't purchased anything, so i can't really claim ufo, here.
Many more planned, but not much started>>>

I guess that I am one of the very few...I only have 1 project going right now. I can only work on 1 at a time because I cannot take the mess and dis-organization. Everything has to be picked up at the end of the day.

HI GUYS, I HAVE TWO QUILTS GOING. ONE IS A SUNBONNET SUE THAT ENDED UP TO BE MUCH LARGER THEN I THOUGHT. IF I DON'T FINISH IT SOON, I'M GOING TO HATE THIS QUILT. LOL. IT IS GOING TO BE VERY PRETTY WHEN IT'S DONE. NOT MUCH MORE TO GO AND THE OTHER IS A DARLING BULLDOG QUILT FOR MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW FOR CHRISTMAS. SHE HAS HER BABY AMOS. VERY CUTE ENGLISH BULLDOG FABRIC I FOUND, DOING BORDERS RIGHT NOW.

It would be easier to count the completed projects as there are way more "in progress" than there are finished ones. And I am retired and can spend all day quilting if I want, but I get burned out and have to take a break

HI PATIMINT, WHAT A SMALL WORLD.. WE HAVE FRIENDS IN HAMIILTON. THEY COME OVER HERE OFTEN BUT WE HAVE NOT BEEN OVER THERE. I HEAR IT'S A NICE PLACE TO LIVE. GET'S LOTS OF SNOW !!!I'M RETIRED TOO AND I SHOULD GET MORE DONE THEN I DO. I THINK WE ALL GET BURNED OUT ONCE IN AWHILE. NEED TO TAKE A BREAK...
PUGLOVER1

I have 3 at this time and blocks for a swap, don't have anymore room to have more than that going at the same time.

As long as you are having fun and it is keeping you emotionally and mentally healthy - I don't think it matters how many are 'on the go'(you can see I am not confessing to my number).

Let's see:
2 baby quilts for twins have 18-1/2 blocks of 48 done.
1 Toddler quilt - top finished
1 Block of the month -1st month done
3 blocks of another BOM - waiting to start - have the focus fabric need to get coordinating.
1 Shop hop 24 blocks done
1 Shop hop 13 blocks - just got material today.
and thinking of a few small Xmas gifts to get done.
Didn't realize I had that many in progress.

I've got 5 , but so many more in line to get started!

I'm so glad you've given me a new name to use for what I called UFO's. Now maybe I'll feel better thinking of them as "quilts in progress"!LOL

I have around ten, could be 20, in various stages. If I separately count the tablerunners, placemats, etc that I am getting to quilting stage it would be higher. I have dedicated spaces and bins so I spend my time working and not hunting. I get far more accomplished that way and always have a clear mind about where I am going.When I am working on throw size I now must have an intended recipient in mind or it stays at top stage. About once a year I donate the tops without recipients to a ladies group that finishes them as quilts and sells them for funds for mission work.

Oh, my gosh...this is a funny thread!

This is an interesting question that always comes up when we have new students enter into my classes.

Many are gasping for air, when they find out how many quilting projects others are working on...
Most of the gasping are the new quilters...then two years later...they are surprised at how many projects they have going themselves.
So much fabric, so little time. lol
When we do small group retreating, (we have many small groups), I suggest that they list projects they wish to have finished in one year...and ask them to list them on the back of the business card from where we are retreating.
We keep those cards on our sewing machines...referring to them throughout the year...(We book another retreat for the next year and give a prize for the one that brings the most finished projects from their list...) Really fun...keeps me on track .... and motoviated!

For the last 10 years I have tried to keep a running list of completed projects. That makes me feel a lot better than listing the WIP's. (Work in Progress) But some of my projects are actually UFO's because I haven't touched them in many years. I have a couple of quilt-wanna-be's that were started over 15 years ago! Maybe one day they will make it to the Completed Projects list! LOL
When I was a new quilter, I would start quilts with lots of small pieces, and then very soon get bogged down in the tedium. A new quilt magazine would send me back to the new-project-mode, and the old, tedious project would be set aside. Later I learned to not even start those beautiful designs with lots of small pieces, knowing they would never get finished.

I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of things I haven't completed. But remember, it isn't the number of projects you finish but the joy you have in reading this board:)

I currently have 3 queen-size tops completed, waiting to be basted and hand-quilted, 2 wall quilts waiting to be basted and hand-quilted, and a sofa size which I am on the last border of hand-quilting which I will bind and use for charity fundraiser overseas. I am ITCHING to start another 2 queen size tops that I have the fabric for. I have NEVER had so many UFO's and it's REALLY bothering me!! I am almost ready to have someone ELSE machine quilt them so I can get on with my new ones! And I still need to get started on my Xmas presents (3 x tree skirts and matching table runners!) I exhaust myself just thinking of it!

I have to admit, there is nothing like hand quilting. It is beautiful. But it boggs you down in getting things completed! Machine quilting takes hours instead of weeks & months (sometimes years), and frees you up to make more tops!

I think I have 16 UFOs.

I'm a longarm quilter, and I've finished about 100 client quilts this year so far. The shoemaker's children have no shoes; the longarmer's quilts have no quilting. LOL!

Seriously, folks, I need to finish some of these projects. They take up way too much space and they are preying on my mind.

I have tons of things started. Lol..to many to count or even find. Last year I had started about 10 quilts that were never finished. I had them in a comforter bag and found them in the garage. I finished them all this year and it felt great. I still have more to finish as I go through bins, I just keep putting them in the "to do" bag and one day they will get finished.

WOW !! Finished 10 UFO's in a year !!! Bravo !! You go, girl!

Last year I could have said none because I didn't start anything without finishing what I was working on. Except for 2 BOM's This year I have 5 block of the months and 2 row by row and I still have my Bunny Hill bom of last year. Tooo many ufo's

a coupoe in progress and several in mind.

Think of all the yardage of material sitting there in WIP's - sort of mind boggling. I know, I know, I have contributed to the yardage and will probably contribute more as I go along.

I'm a finisher. I like to complete one project before starting another. It takes me a while to decide what project to make next, but once I decide, I can't wait to finish it.

i have a few. two are pretty much done, just adding finishing touches and embellishments. one has the top done and i 'should' be adding the backing soon but it's a pitb because it's a queensize and i don't have room to lay it out without moving furniture around and one i just started so i could be doing something useful while i procrastinate on the other one.

Sorry, I don't have enough fingers and toes to count all of those UFOs - particularly if I have to count blocks.....

I am use to having many many projects going but then I promised myself I would start and finish a quilt before moving on. Was doing good but last night i just had to try something I saw and of all a sudden I realized i had another project going.
My mind works faster then my hands and the mind is always getting me in trouble.

1) A twin size that I am hand quilting for my GNiece for Christmas.
2) A king size that I have to sandwich and hand quilt for her mother for Christmas.
3) Two Christmas quilts in progress.
4) 1 full size in progress for my GN
5) 1 stash quilt in progress.
Is that enough.

I just leave it at "several projects" Funny question!

A couple of years ago I decided, as a New Years Resolution, to list all my UFO's and challenged myself to not start any new projects but to finish as many UFO's as possible in the coming year. It worked for awhile. I got 5 or 6 UFO's finished. But then my guild had a workshop on something I was fascinated with. That meant starting a new project. After that, it was one thing and another. . . you know the saying: "So many quilts, so little time."
