I have a queensize quilt I have been hand quilting for 5 years now. Its one that I work on when the weather in cold and I want that weight on my lap. I have 3 tops yet to be quilted. I have a Christmas quilt I need to put togeather... I have 3 lap size that I need to quilt and I have 4 quilts in the boxes that need to be finished pieceing and I am now making two quilt as you go quilts. I love these and think I will be making alot of them. lol . Once you get everything cut the quilt goes fast and when you are done , you are done!!!!

For years I sewed for the public.The first thing I learned was DO NOT KEEP AN OPEN CUP OF COFFEE by the machine. When I need a break, I take a coffee break away from the machine. Helps the back also.
I do my charity quilts in stages, four or five at a time. First I piece them all, sandwich them, machine quilt them all (stitch in the ditch mostly) then bind them all This method helps me turn them out faster. I also lesson to Books on Tape while I work. I find it very relaxing

So my worst problem is piling up quilt tops.Once it's done, I'm off to next one....& so it goes.
How do others handle that? What is your solution? Do you have a bad quilting habit?
