I have a few UFOs - I really don't want to count them. Certainly there is less than 10.

I'm on a self enforced fabric moratorium - so that I can focus on these outstanding projects.

My goal is to only have 2 projects on the go at any one time.

This is why when I asked my ladies from supporting churches for their UFOs that they thought they might never finish...I got a lot of stuff!!!

I managed to finish a lot of them, give the stuff away as sets, or cut up the fabric and make charity quilts out of them.

I think it is a tendency of crafters...

When I realized that my husband was this way about stuff, it helped me become more relaxed. I got frustrated about the house--why can't he finish up the projects, etc? Why do these things bother me and not him? Then, I read this article about how some people get the thrill out of the PROCESS and not the FINISHED PRODUCT. I realized that he is like that. He doesn't care if the house ever gets finished all the way. I wish it would.

But it helped my attitude. I so enjoy the sewing part (the creating of the top itself) but I don't mind the finishing up. If it isn't that great, I make it into a tied charity quilt. That way it is much faster and not a lot of frustration to me.

That isn't to say I have no UFOs...Haha. I'm going to post some pics in the pic section of some people who took charity quilts last Sat. at our big Christmas outreach. Some of you might be curious to notice which quilts some people chose to take.

2011 is my year to banish ufo's. My sewing and storage space is limited and they just take up too much room. The ones I truly decide not to finish will be dismantled and recycled into my stash. I don't have as many as some - maybe about six. maybe eight...

Since joining this board, I have come to realize in a few short months that there are many things to get us hung on a project and go on to the next. In my case I will start on a project then have to go on to another because I am either waiting for the backing to go on sale that I want or the batting. Then in the course of waiting for my sales I end up finding the perfect quilt to make for a gift that has a deadline. If I was able to get everything at one time and not have any additional projects for friends and family, I would be good. So for me with xmas coming this week I have a quilted wallet to finish for my DD,a lap quilt for a friend in Minn. that I need to finish the quilting, a dresden that is pieced that needs to be finished and 5 prs of pj's that are cut out and 2 partially done. I hope I can get at least 2 of this done by saturday. My family will wait till the jammies are done. They are all teens now. So that is only 8 things to finish. I hope to get stuff done on friday and thursday pm. If not oh well.
