I really envy all of you that perservere to the end with one quilt--I just get distracted by all the new stuff out there and want to make all of it! I've been quilting for 27 yrs. and have alot of UFOs--I'm past the guilt and just having fun! :lol: My favorite part of quilting is making the blocks, so I am tending to make quilts that incorporate many different blocks (like the 2009 BOM). I also like very scrappy quilts. I think these two things keep me on track a little better.Comment

I get bored really easily making block after block. I have been making a pieced butterfly quilt with 20 blocks. I do about 2 a day. Then off to something else. Yet I can sit all day and hand applique. I am currently working on one of Suzanne Marshall's patterns, Midsummer's Dream. Then I bought a couple of hand applique patterns, Baltimore Halloween and Baltimore Bunnies that will take me through to the end of my life. Maybe I will be able to finish all of those UFO's that are stacked up in my quilting room, in between hand applique. I am like some of you who have to have the latest fabric and the latest pattern and want to make more and more instead of finishing what I have. Oh, well. It is what I would rather do than anything especially here in the HOT summer of AZ. Judy in AZComment

I have several projects going, but not because I'm bored with the current one. I can only do design work when my mind is fresh. When I am "brain dead" I go straight for the hand quilting or hand applique--everything's already planned--and it's done by muscle memory, I think! Machine work sort of falls in between.

All the answers are useful and should help with the little bit of guilt I feel when a put one aside to work on something different. My question follows the idea of putting some projects away for future work. What thoughts are there out there for storage? I have different size projects, quite a bit of space to put things away "for the moment" and wonder what everyone likes for still being able to see the project easily, but keeping it clean and all together.Comment

Mine are in labeled clear plastic boxes on top of my stash cabinet. When I run out of boxes, I make myself finish one before I start another project!

So happy to read all these ways to approach quilting. I am a fairly new quilter and felt guilty about putting off certain tasks. Now I can quilt with happiness and joy knowing that I am just like all my sister quilters. Thanks for that.Comment

Lorchen, it is so funny that you said that today! I spent the morning getting my neutrals BOM on the frame so I can get it quilted! This is one I made while helping Sue to test the patterns for this year's BOM!Originally posted by LorchenMargo, you'll have Alex visiting after showing that picture...... all those lovely neutrals in the middle on the left....
