I always have more than 1 WIP for the simple reason that I get bored with a project easily. This way when I get tired of working on one, I switch to another and so forth.
This year though I decided to finish up those WIPs. So far I have put the borders on 4 tops and assembled a 5th one. I have one more top to put the borders on but I'm waiting until I find just the right border fabric. Now I get to start over and create new WIPs. :mrgreen:

I also have a few WIPs. I recently pulled one out, can't remember why I stopped working on it. I finished it up, and gave it to a friend before she left for Texas for further cancer treatment. She thought I had just whipped up the quilt, when, I had a large part of it already finished. I was able to give her something to remind her of all the hugs I give her mentally during her courageous battle. Someone upstairs was telling me to get it out, and that it was needed. Enough said.

I have vowed to get thru my UFO's this year. However, community service and block of the month seems to be getting in the way. Oh a brighter note tho. our guild is going to have UFO retreats - the first one is next week-end so I need to get my bootie in gear and cut some sashings to finish the blocks I did in 2009!!!!! LOL.... :-)

I get too bored to just have 1 thing going at a time! I do tend to get excited when I near the end of one and generally can stick with it until it is finally done. But...that doesn't mean that I don't have 5 other things going too :wink:
