One Project at a time? or more?
#72
I like to have several going at one time, that way if I feel like cutting, I do that, if I feel like, piecing I can do that, feel like quilting ...you get the picture. I have 8 that I'm working on right now, and 2 that I really want to start, but keep telling myself to get a few of these done first.

As an experienced seamstress, I also know that if I leave something for too long, I really don't want to go back to it. I don't get bored because I sew different things: jackets, bags, small quilts, etc.

If I have to start something new for a gift, I try to make notes so when I return to my main project I know where I left off.
I like a neat sewing room and if I have a couple projects going on at the same time I fel like I'm working in clutter.
After reading posts on this board it sounds as though many quiters work on several projects at a time. Is this the norm?
Do most quilters finish a project before starting another?
Do most quilters have several projects going on at once?
Curious to hear feedback.

I'd love to be able to work on more than one project at a time! I figured out a long time ago though that for me, this does not work. If I set aside a project to work on another, I tend to never finish the first. I have made the rule for myself that if I start a quilting project, I have to finish at least the quilt top before beginning another one. I make myself finish the whole quilt if I have the batting and backing/binding if I have the materials on hand for it at the time. I often don't have these on hand and have to wait til I have the $ to purchase them though, so I make an exception for myself in these cases. This doesn't mean that I can't do research planning and shopping for my next project though. I do admit to having about 4 or 5 projects on my do do/ wish list though. I really need to start building up my stash of backing and batting supplies.

My total was 32! Now I'm not allowed to start something new until I check two things off my list, so I'm down to 20 something.
