I know you are out there and that I am in good company.
So far this year I have finished 3 UFO's - to me, finished means the binding is complete. I have also worked on a lot of UFO's that are further along on the road to completion. So far, so good.
Here's the thing about UFO's, though. I keep starting new projects! I just can't help it! An idea pops into my head - Ooohhh, that pattern would look so good in those fat quarters, or, I love that different color combination, or, I want to make a quilt for so-and-so. I just have to get started, and I tell myself that it won't take too long. Then once it is started I have a commitment to the quilt. I can't help it, and I am not going to apologize for it. I LOVE to sew and make quilts, and I enjoy every minute of it.
To those of you "I only work on one quilt at a time and finish it" people, I admire your discipline. But I am not going to be you, and I am not even gonna try.
I am still going to set my goals to get UFO's done - this year I want to complete 12. But one thing is for sure... as long as I am able to quilt, there will be UFO's.
Please share your comments on your UFO status.
Keep stitching, Beth
Here are two of the finished quilts. The top one is made with flannel, and it is a Thimbleberries pattern called "Tree Farm Throw". The bottom quilt was made using a jelly roll and fat quarters I had, and I came up with the design.
