It depends on if I have a deadline. Last year I made 2 large throws for my nephews who were graduating within about 45 days. I rarely work on a quilt from start to finish without moving onto something else. I have several tops started, and will finish those, then switch to something else. Later I'll get on a quilting kick and quilt a few tops before moving onto starting another top, or sewing finished blocks together. I really should just finish up everything I have started so I don't feel so overwhelmed.
