    Is there a new skill you could learn at a quilting class? Even if I'm in the middle of a project and an interesting project is being taught at one of the LQS, I'll set my current project aside and take the opportunity to get out of the house, learn something new, meet new people, and have a great time.

    Me too. Every quilt I see is my next one, especially the ones I see here.

    I like to clean my space and put things away before I start another project. If there are left over parts of blocks, I usually put them in a baggy. When I get enough baggies, I try to figure out a quilt using the "left-overs"

    Make something that is a change of pace for you. Experiment with a little project, like a table topper or a tote bag, where you don't have a lot of time and money invested, be brave and try something new!

    WOW, I envy you. I've never been in the position of looking for a new project because I was finished with everything. I've always got 2 or 3 laying around that I'm working on - shall we talk about the zillion projects tucked away in cabinets and shelves that are unfinished? - let's not LOL
    You go, girl!!!! Be a shining example for the rest of us.

    Finish my "to do list" NEVER. Too many I want to do and some in more than one color. I have to prioritize when it's time to choose a new one.

    I wouldn't know what it's like to have them all done! My decision is which one to finally finish next! I have about 13 BOMs to finish. The sad thing is there are a few I don't like at all and can't bring myself to finish them. But I have the finishing kits and everything for them and have too much money in them to just give them away so ---- I guess after I finish all the fun stuff I want to do, I'll finish those. I have finished 2 BOMs in the last few months, though so I'm very inspired to keep going.

    My to do and wish to do list is so long I may have to live to be 120 or at least long enough to be senile so I can't remember what it was I was wanting to do. LOL

    Ditto. I just think and one jumps out--often I think, now who hasn't got one from me and to whom I owe the most--of course new grandson is a priority!
