I have at least 14 projects in different stages of completion, and as I need gifts I pull out the one closest to my current need and finish it. There are several baby, lap, prayer and queen size quilts always ready ot finish. As I finish a project I always cut the scraps into the largest strips or squares and store them in sized tubs, ie. 3", 4", 5" strips or squares and they are always ready to start a scrap quilt.

I'm hand quilting one right now and can't wait to finish so I can start on another one. So that means I work on it every time I have a few minutes! I get a lot done in those few minutes and my motivation is the one that is waiting for me!

I just finished binding one today, have another pinned and ready to be bound, one more started for donation to the soldiers, and 5 more to make for the soldiers, one more that my Mom appliqued and she wants me to put it together, have quilted, and then I need to bind it. One more that needs to be squared and sent to the quilter, two purses to make and two memory quilts on order and last but not least one for DH.

Currently, 3 projects. I have 2 baby quilts and a bargello quilt for a class. Baby Boy quilt is being machine quilted, Baby Girl quilt is being sandwiched and the bargello is in the strip piecing stage.

Hmmm - binding one today, one at the long armer, one going to the long armer at the next opportunity, one being slowly hand quilted. I'm not allowing myself any new starts until I clear the decks. Pleased to say I'm making progress. It's hard to stay disciplined but I don't want any more works in progress cluttering up the place.
