Simply too too many to count. So my New Years resolution is to FINISH all my UFOs, before I start another somewhat involved project. I also am going to try (try I said) to finish a small project each week and more if possible. Please wish me luck. I keep seeing patterns I want to try (right now) but but but.

I use to do one at a time, then I'd have one in the planning stage, one in the cutting, one in the sewing and one I was hand quilting. I hunger for those days. Now OMG, I've moved into double digits and I swore I wouldn't do that. But I see things I want to do that will be put together quickly and it jumps ahead of the others. My new years resolution is going to be to not start something new till I have something completed. Do you think I'll stick to that??? But then there's that baby that will be born this spring so I have to do that one and then my GS asked for one with dogs on it. Oops! I'm thinking I need to toss my resolution.

When I start a small project, like a lap quilt, i generally see it right through, however, a year ago I had a major physical problem and was unable to finish anything, so I built up a pile of 21 tops (flimsies) intended to be charity quilts for kids in out of home placement. Yesterday, I handed over the last of them, so I am down to about 20 UFOs, about half in the final piecing stages. I don't have enough room to store things.
Lots of times I try out a block that does not quite work for what I want or I do not like enough to go farther. I have a bin for those. When I want to make a scrappy quilt, I often center individual large blocks of those. I have also made several purses from these abortions. The effects can be quite dramatic.
