I currently have three going. I started one in April, decided to make a recliner throw for my mother in May and just last week a pratice piece turned out so well it became a recliner throw. So I have two tops finished one on the quilting frame with one waiting and one still waiting to be finished.

nothing started yet on those, but I have fabric, backing,
pattern etc. all layed aside. I have another 5 or 6 in my
mind, but being 75 yrs old I have promised myself I won't
pull fabrics out for anymore until most of these are done.
Actually it supresses the 'creative juices' but the time has
come for me to 'get real'. I would be unhappy if I didn't have something going.

I didn't read all the answers, but in actively sewing squares/tops--probably 3-5, and I have about 15 tops waiting to quilt.
Actually sewing several together keeps it interesting. Some days I'm in the mood to work on squares and sometimes, borders, and sometimes sewing the squares together.

I am working on 3 BOM's and 1 BOW plus I have 2 quilts waiting to be quilted, a drawer full of 9 patches waiting to be made into a quilt, 3 BOM'S I won at my quilt several yrs back, oh and downstairs in a tote I have 5 finished tops calling my name! Also when my guild presents the new BOM pattern each month I get carried away and want to make lots of them too but that's where I draw the line. I dare no let myself go there!!

I have one in limbo - making it from scraps from a previous quilt top. I have about 5 tops that need to be put together to be quilted. Then I have 2 QFK quilts I need to get moving on and complete. The gardening has kind of taken my time from quilting.

Well, let's see: twin size quilt for my sister's great-grandaughter, family reunion quilt for July 4th, 2 warm wishes quilts, kit for kitten quilt, 3 block of the month quilts, I can't go on. Then there are the winter wall hangings and placemats to make, etc., etc. I don't know if I should panic, hang my head in shame, or just get busy on them. Any ideas???
