Two projects at a time

I've decided to go back to the days when I only worked on one or two projects at a time - one machine and one handwork item.
It feels like I managed to get much more done this way.
I'm just not a very good multi-tasker when it comes to sewing.
My current focus:
1. Finishing my Rainbow Jane quilt top.

2. Completing the granny square blanket. I'm up to 15 x 10 squares (the photo is old and it's too dark to take a new one right now). The plan is 15 x 12 squares with a border.

Today, however, I have to go buy supplies for Houston!!!

    I envy you your trip to Houston, I know several others that are going on that trip.
    I know what you mean about working on just two projects at a time, one by hand one by machine. I tend to always get more done that way too although I always go back to more projects - but I try to stick to two - I'm just not good at it.

    I think we tend to get a bit carried away with choosing new fabrics and starting a new project and the old ones get left behind a bit. I'm still trying to finish the quilting on my Dear Jane, hopefully by the end of next year.

    That's a very good way to work. I'm trying to do the same but it takes A LOT of discipline! I keep seeing things I want to start. :o)
