I started doing multiple projects from the get go. It's not that I get bored with one, just that I like having several going at the same time. I have to have something to do when I'm in the family room with DH in the evening. He watches TV and I work on binding, applique, or yo-yo's. But even though I've done sewing, cross stitch, knitting, crochet and embroidery, I've never had multiple projects going except with quilting.

I always have several projects going at once. Since I hand quilt, I sometimes get tired of looking at the same thing, so it's refreshing to pull out another project to work on. And of course, there's no thrill like beginning a NEW project (I am a true Aries!). I guess there are some people who like to start and finish their projects before starting another, but I guess I don't fall into that category! :thumbup:

I can't deal with more than one quilt project at a time. The first one has to either be finished, put away as a UFO, or otherwise got rid of before I can start a new quilt.
That's why I don't quilt for months on end sometimes, because I can't decide what to do with the current-project-I-don't-want-to-work-on so I can pick a new one. |

Yes, I do. I've been sewing and quilting for many years and I ALWAYS have several projects going. I know some quilters moan about UFOs or whatever, but I find that when I have a large quilt or intricate project, switching back and forth keeps me more motivated than slogging through until the bitter end. I finish most everything I start - eventually! I had this quilt that I loved and started. But you had to piece the leaves, cut and repiece, strip piece little squares - the process got OLD. So I put it away for a years or so, brought it back out, was reinspired, finished it, and it won "Show Chairman's Choice Award" at our last guild show.

I am usually working on more than one project but have way too many UFO's. I am printing out a engagement calendar and putting a list of UFO's in it like a bookmark. Then I will post diary like notes on each day what I have worked on. I feel real positive about this method. I am also going to have a list of projects for the bazaars I want to sell at. diane/wyoming

Welcome from WI. Not many quilters just have one project going at a time. I started out that way but it didn't last long.
