I have many projects going as well. But....my sister recently bought a huge kit called Vintage Tin. It has embroidery and patchwork. She wants to make it for her husband, and she has yet to start.

You see this as a problem? To me that's perfectly normal around here. While we're not redoing our kitchen, I had 2 consecutive years with surgery that slowed me down; but now I'm starting to make a come back. I must have a gazillion UFO's that I should work on, as well as a dozen or more things I want to me for our DGD Zoe, her birthday is May 18, so I should get going on those; and what am I doing now - working on a BOM from 2006 for which I have no plans. I do hope you have a good and swift recovery from surgery, I know it's no fun; but you need to get better so you can quilt. Best of luck to you.

I'm a beginner of about a year, I still have the very 1st blocks I ever made for my sons quilt, I have the sashing & boarder for it but those are not cut. But I've done 4 baby quilts (not real good) and a pillow case and now a friend wants me to make another baby quilt this one she wants to buy so again son's quilt gets set aside so hopefully I can make a few dollars for my Janome 6600 savings fund. MAYBE then I can get back to my sons quilt. Then it's on the making one for the other 5 kids. So I'm a beginner that's already behind

I agree, I have the addiction. I am doing 3 no, that's 4 projects now. Applique Chicken Table Runner, Surfer Quilt and a Summer Garden Quilt using the tri-recs template thingy/ruler from creative grids and a DP9 patch. Night mare, but I love it, and will probably never change either!

Yesterday was my 78th birthday. Guess what I gave myself as a present? Material for making 3 more quilts when I have a sewing room filled with patterns and fabrics for making dozens of quilts. At least, I am only behind on quilting 3 quilts on my DSM. I need to live to be 100 to make all the quilts I have planned and I only started quilting 3 years ago. I'd say I am super addicted; but it is so much fun.

Hexies are fun!
So I've got about 3 projects right now that I'm working on. Yesterday I was fooling around on the interent and stumbled over this Farmers Wife project, so of course I bought that right away. Then, at home last night out internet was out so I was reading my Precision Piecing book. I've read it before, but it appears as if the blocks in that book are the same size as the Farmers Wife blocks, so I made the first block this morning before work. So, here I am at work now and for the first time, hexies have caught my interest - no idea why, but I've been sitting here cutting out hexi papers and can't wait to get home and give it a try. I'm all over the place right now. I try hard to complete projects, so am hoping this latest obsession doesn't send me right over the edge.

So well said, Once I figure it out and see the colors together, I am happy.

Yes, it is normal for me too.
What you are going through now is what I call normal for me. I can't count the unfinished projects I have and I am still buying and starting more. At 75 I just hope I live long enough to finish them all. When we lost my DM I got all her unfinished projects that are still unfinished as she hand quilted and I don't.
