I don't feel guilty about UFOs as we organise a UFO swapping/matching day and finish them up that way. A lot of fun. Or you could put them on e-bay?

If you have only been quilting 3 months, all your work is still WIP or LIW (lady in waiting) none are old enough to be UFO's just enjoy. Quilting is supposed to be enjoying not to frustrate you. So just keep quilting and having fun.

I don't feel guilty...I just have fun..

who's guilty, we get to them sooner or later.

If you really enjoy making tops and not doing the quilting part, perhaps you can team up with someone who enjoys quilting, but not piecing. I keep some tops around just in case I need a donation quilt, so they aren't really UFOs, just waiting for a need (that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it). If that fails, I suggest chocolate and/or white wine.

I have a reject basket in the corner of my sewing room. Now and then I go through it. Sometimes I'm able to see something I didn't see before, sometimes I use the pieces for another project, sometimes they just sit there a while longer. Sometimes...they never get done. Everytime it is a learning experience.

You've only been at it for 3 months? and 4 wip? Sounds about right to me! Some projects just need time to 'gel' on the design board or under the bed. Don't fret; relax and enjoy them. Start another project if you don't feel like working on these right now :D

Usually the joy of the new project makes me forget the UFO. Later when I clean up I can get back to them. That is sometimes.
I have UFO's that over 15 years old :oops:

Oh, the woes of quilting. Sew much fabric sew little time. It is nice to be needed and every unfinished project "needs" you. It's a good feeling.

If it is a quilting project, I look at it in stages, 1st stage: concept and design (or pattern/fabric selection); 2nd stage: preparing materials; 3rd stage: Construction of top; 4th stage: quilting; 5th stage: completion. It is perfectly acceptable to take a break between any and all stages. No one dictates how long that break can be. 8-) :oops: :oops: 8-)
