UFO's the only lifestyle I know. I truly dislike the cutting process..so when I am in the "mood" I may cut 2-3 patterns. So there is always a quilt waiting in the wings to be started.

You go Joe! A good quilt is like a fine wine, sometimes it has to sit for a few years to reach its peak and we drag it back out and "cap it off". And yes, I am the reigning UFO queen in my house. Have been known to even take apart a quilt that was "ageing" and redo it in other designs or add different colors.

And I will get all of them done.

I don't like UFOs so I always try to only do one at a time; but like you, I have started going from one to another while the thought is still fresh in my brain. I am having "issues" with my QAYG project so it was easy to get distracted from it. Now I have the pinwheel project, Quilts for Kids (several at one time) in various stages of completion. So today my goal is to get something finished, not the QAYG.

I've always had more than one project. Oh how I love for them to all come together about the same time.

That is great for you! You have to do whatever works for you. I always have a bunch of projects going. Eventually I get things done, but sometimes it takes me years. ;) There are no rules.

UFO means unfinished object. WOF means width of fabric.

Until last week I was a "one quilt quilter". I started FMQ a baby quilt and found out it looks terrible. (I used poly batting). Luckily my new kit from Quilts for Kids came in and is now being worked on.
