Wish me luck. Starting more than 1 project!
I've ALWAYS been a "work on only one project at a time kind of gal" even when I was doing stamping. That has always worked best for me. However, I find I'm getting frustrated because I have so many projects I want to do and think it might be fun to have 2 projects going at the same time. I hope it works!
How many of you do this?

I think its good to have a few going, because you can walk away on a project (frustrating) and still change it up a bit by working on something different and come back with fresh eyes. I have 5 projects on the go at the moment...........

Re: Wish me luck. Starting more than 1 project!
Oh I love having several going at once...I never lose interest or get bored. Finishing never feels laborious. Right now I have 1 baby with the quilting almost done, a quilt top wait to be sandwiches, 6 blocks for a quilt, a center for another, an idea on the design wall, and fabric in piles for 2 others! Oh I need to get busy!
Have fun with your two at once, pretty soon it'll be more!

I currently have two which I never do. The one just needs the backing trimmed down and the batting cut so I can take it to the long armer so I'm not really considering that a project.

I usually have 5 going. I get bored and pick up another one. I like having a few projects going, I don't have dead lines so no pressure and I always finish my projects. I have "punished" myself before and would not cut another quilt til one got done lol

I tend to just do one thing at a time, so I just buy the fabric I need for that project, which is why I'm never going to get that longed for stash some (most) of the ladies here have!

Re: Wish me luck. Starting more than 1 project!
I started out doing one thing at a time, but this past year I had several projects going on and seemed to get more done that way. Right now I have four rag quilts to finish and two quilt tops that just need borders before I can finish them. I also signed up for two BOM classes, so if I get bored with one thing, I can move on to another. Oh I also have to start a baby quilt for a new grandson who is due next month. Guess I better get with the program. Have fun!

I always have at least three or four projects going at the same time. I'm easily bored. I tend to finish them all at the same time and that's thrilling! Good Luck!!

Like alot of others i ALWAYS have 5 going at one time..sometimes they are just in the planning stages in my head or I'm researching how to do something on the net but i know it will be my next project....I have this many going so that i don't get bored or if something doesn't go right i can think through something while doing something else.
