I do maybe 3 or 4 tops and then start feeling guilty and I put up my frame and finish them, before I start another one top...

I made 4 quilts since Christmas.2 done. Wanted to try the D9P so I made and finished it for granddaugher's Christening tomorrow. Decided to make another D9P for my 2 1/2 yr grandson, like an I spy. I showed him the top and he askes me every day he is here (I baby sit him 3/4 days a week) for his "blanket". Poor little guy, I'm afraid sandwiching is not my favorite thing. Maybe today....Also did UFO winding ways and haven't decided how to quilt it so that's on hold.

OHHHH....I am sooo a topper! I love the creative part (finding the pattern, choosing fabric and cutting and sewing to watch it come to life!) and when that's done, I am ready to move on. No clue how many tops and/or sets of blocks---almost a top---I have!

GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!! I have many tops that need to be sandwiched together...I love making the tops and then when it comes to putting it all together...I hate to sew the back fabric together then put the label on so that I can send it off....But when I do...do all that....I just LOVE the way the quilt turned out...I'm just a rebel topper.

Did you See the topic of "I need help, I'm Overwhelmed"? If you did and you are willing to donate and send me a top, I will donate the batting backing and do the quilting for "Overwhelmed"s wife and send it to them. Let me know.

I'm not even a topper. Prefer making blocks, embroidery sets, etc, dreaming of how they will go together, and then beginning a new project.

Many not only unfinished projects, but unassembled.

I have 4 tops ready to put in the frame, 2 others that need to be set together, and designated fabric & patterns for 3 more.

That makes me an alien also .......... I can't fathom having more than one in the process and I do NOT have OCD and am NOT super organized. My "studio" is a fairly cluttered mess but I only do one quilt at a time

I am an alien also--since I make one top at a time and then finish it. It certainly cuts down on the amount of money I spend on material. A quilt is not a quilt until it's quilted.
