How many quilt projects do you usually have going at once?
Just curious ... back when I was knitting obsessively I'd have five or six projects on needles at the same time. Now that I'm doing quilts I have only one project in the works, but I'm kind of itching to put it on hold to do a couple of other seasonal-type projects. For some reason, the idea makes me feel guilty (maybe it's because my project-in-the-works is a quilt for my daughter, who is eagerly awaiting its completion).
Just wondering how many of you work on multiple projects at the same time, vs just forging ahead with one.

I have four current projects. A few more stashed away "somewhere". I promised myself I would finish all my current projects now before starting something new. Maybe by New Years I can get an all new, exciting project going.

More than one project at a time!
I have a couple projects I have started but once I start the hand quilting, then it is only one project at a time. But I have lots of ideas I want to try.

I have one quilt I just completed for my granddaughter and completing another that I am doing for me. The reason I procrastinated on my granddaughter's is because I couldn't decide how to back it plus was nervous I'd mess it up..BUT...it turned out sooo nice. I ended up using Minkey on the back.

I seem to be working on several at once when piecing the tops because I love to do "scrappy" quilts, some with fabrics I've had since my pregnancies 30+ years ago. I also have a bad 
habit of buying fat quarters with no specific quilt design in mind. I have made Patricia Cobb's turning 20 again quilt and I participate in the online fab shop hop to receive the quilt block patterns. I have lots of design ideas on graph paper but a big goal is to do a sampler quilt one day.
