    I have a lot of time on my hands, don't want to sit & watch tv or do the computer, so what better way than to (learn to) quilt or crochet or do something that can be beneficial to others? like giving those projects to children's hospital or people in need of a quilt etc? Id rather spend my time learning to make that quilt or sew something , and can crochet & watch tv, but give this away to worthy causes it the ideal thing to do.
    I am trying to do just that!

    I wish I could go from start to finish on one project at a time but I get bored with it and work on something different. I don't even want to think about how many I have started.

    I'm like you. I would PREFER to only work on one project at a time, but it usually doesn't work out that way. I am trying to get all my UFO's finished so I can go back to working on one at a time. Right now, I have two on the go and am anxious to get at least one completely finished this summer. (There are quite a few other UFO's that are lurking in y sewing room that need finishing this winter!)

    I am a creative, easily distracted quilter/artist and can't work on just one thing at a time, although I admire that quality...my brain is working overtime coming up with new ideas, colors, fabrics, etc...and I can't just turn it off at will...sigh...so I am very easily distracted and have to have lots of different projects going for the different moods and feelings for any given day...if I'm feeling artsy, I then pull out my more modern stuff, if I'm feeling traditional, I pull out some of that, etc. etc...I do love the feeling when a project is finally done and washed, ready to give away or use...

    I can only work on one project at a time. My kitchen is my quilting space so I have to be controlled.

Blocks for a club project, cheer blocks for quilt friends, the list goes on.
    Heh. I do that as well - but I didn't consider that as multiple projects. :)

    I always have 2, 3, and sometimes 4 projects going at one time. I always have one that is portable so I can take it with me in the car if we are out driving or have to spend an extended tamount of time anywhere.

    Several going on at any given time. Usually they are different types: english paper piecing, embroidery, piecing (on the machine); and always something to be cut.

    I can't work on one at a time because there are so many neat ones on here that I have to start one of them, and leave the other ones until later.

    Oh, I ;have no problem starting another project before I finish my last. I have a very short attention span. Later I will go back and finish a WIP.
