I put the red and white blocks up on the design wall and to my surprise I had miscounted ( a few times) and actually had 32 blocks instead of the 30 I needed. I thought about making 3 more to make it longer but decided I liked the size that it was so will use the extra blocks on the back. Then the sewing stopped. It took a couple of days to work out why. I am not the biggest red fan and I needed a break from red. The quilt is still on my design wall and I distracted myself with a couple of smaller projects.
This is one of the things that made me decide that I need a group of focus projects. This is a few projects that I can work on so I don't get stuck, and stop sewing, but still not loss the project in the pile of UFOs. I decided on having 9 and trust me there are more ready to be added when some of these get finished.

1. Red and While - on design wall
2. Jungle - blocks and sashing sew together

9. Jar table runner - no progress (ready for quilting)

Oh but you know… I sure love those pretty red and white blocks. Yummy.
I have to work cyclically, too. The big quilts I tend toward just take so much time and intensity that I can't - just can't!! - only work on one at a time from start to finish. I start gagging on them long before the end. I tend to focus on two at a time (one at piecing and one at quilting) until I get them to the next stage, then swap them for another project for a while.
Your block quilt with the dark grey borders... Is stunning! What an art piece!
I love the red and white quilt - yours makes me want to make another. I have two that are redwork but nothing that is a totally pieced red/white. The stitcheries are cute. I am like you, I have many things in progress, but have to pick a few that I work on consistently or it becomes a bit overwhelming.
