I have several on my list but I just keep plugging along as I hand quilt mine except for the borders and that does take
awhile. BUT whilr I am quilting I just keep thinking of which one I want to do next!!!!!!!
But we all must keep quilting. :-)

Right now I have I have 5 big quilts, a couple of lap quilts, a table runner or two, a wall hanging, and some pot holders on my list. It's kind of nice to have a "plan". Gives me something to look forward to. I do have to be a bit careful though. I make sure I finish one project before I begin the next, or I'd be multi-taskig trying to finish several projects at the same time, which is a disaster for me.
I can multi-task a large project with small ones, and I can multi-task quilts with lots of housework, etc., but I can't keep two big projects going and keep them straight. They're too big.
Good luck with your projects. Say, you didn't say how many you have going! How about it?

Make it easy on yourself - dump the darn list. Buy what you want when you can and periodically go thru your "to do" box/drawer/container, and select a project to work on.
If you're afraid you'll forget to purchase a pattern without writing it down on a list, etc. you probably didn't want it that bad.

I would have to spend less time on this forum, ha ha......
every time I see quilt posted here that I like it goes into 'to do' folder and then when I look through all of them I have difficult time to decide which one I really want to make........
so the folder is getting bigger and bigger and I am still not quilting.........

I do think quilters have a touch of QCS....Quilting Confusion Syndrome.I know I suffer from it!
