I have about 6, but I refuse to start anymore until I am at least don't with 3

start with the repairs. they usually go faster and you can clear them out of the way. then just pick one ufo at a time and go for it. now, if only i took my own advice.

just pick one you really don't mind working on and finish it. i have over 25 UFO tops waiting on me!

Whatever number is pulled, that's the one I work on. For instance, this month I am working on a quilt that I made the top about 13 or so years ago. I hope to have it completely finished by the end of March. Then on to the next one and so on ....

I like the idea of putting a number on them and choosing that way..it would end the waiting for it to jump out of the bin at me!

Okay, your first mistake was counting them. I like to squirrel mine away so I have to really look for them. How many do I have? Too many.

I have been in this perdicament before, I like to list, them get them done, and cross them off my list. Sew satisfying.

At least you counted...lol. I refuse to find out. Just start on one so you can finish it. Good luck.

LOL, wish one of them would jump out at me.

Just depends on what you count as a UFO! I have 5 tops that need to be sandwiched. THere are 3 sandwiched and pinned, but need quilting and binding. Then there are the 3 that are cut out and started - works in progress I guess those are. I refuse to count the ones that are in bags with all the fabric and the pattern/idea waiting to see the light of day - but if I had to guess? Maybe 30? Oh my.

I have 6 that are due in May so I'm working on them in the order they're due. Getting those 3 sandwiched last night helped a lot. I make a list each week and try to work off that list - just have more going on than I'm used to.
