The block is beautiful and vibrant. I work on several things at once too usually. Then sometimes I will start one project and work on that until it's completed. I say whatever works for you is what you should do!

I try not to have more than 1 or 2 projects going at once. I am now working on pinwheel blocks and pieces or spokes for dresden plate. I am using the same random stash fabric pieces so decided to cut them out at the same time. Working out pretty good.

I love that block, but if your not having fun I would switch. Like everyone else I have numerous WIPs but I have another reason. I don't want to get bogged down in the end product. It's all in the trip and not in the destination. With all the should dos in everyday life I want my quilting to be a "enjoying it now".

I do that all the time. It takes longer to finish any one project that way, but it keeps me interested. I find that when I get close to finishing something, I devote all my time to it until it's done. Someone also suggested setting a timer and working an hour at a time per project. I might try that too.

But it's beautiful! I love the fabrics! I am always working on at least 2 different projects so when I get bored with one, I can go work on the other. Sometimes I have to squeeze in some housework or errand running, too.

I love the colors and you are doing beautiful work! If you are getting bored of making those blocks, I'd put them away or to the side and work on something else for a while. I usually have more than one project going at once. Of course, I have a problem sometimes if I put it too far away of forgetting about it and not getting it done! :oops:
