    Sorry...one more thing about UFOs? How do they multiply so fast??? And where do the instructions go??? If I can figure out these questions and the one about where the matching sock goes in the dryer, I will consider my life fulfilled...lol:)

    Now that's a great idea!

    I'm going on a quilt retreat in a couple of weeks and the first two projects I am going to work on are UFO's. I am determined to finish these two. One is a quilt top that is all pieced just needs about 6 figures fused and machine appliqued. The other is a block of the month that I bought at least 12 years ago. Wish me luck.

    I agree. Why is it that when we get distressed with a project, put it away, in a plastic bag, and not think about putting some clue inside as to how to finish it or what it was? A page number , pattern info, magazine date and page, anything. We only have ourselves to blame. It's weird how much alike we all are. People gathering here from all over the world doing the same things. Mind blowing.

    lol, I haven't reached that point yet. Still building my stash. Have fun folks.... :) If someone was not smiling when they first come to this quilt board for sure they are before they leave. I love the wonderful warm humor generated in these rooms. Blessings all :)

    My UFO problem isn't that one. Since I design almost all of my quilts, there is never a kit or instructions issue. However, it is not uncommon that when I start on a UFO, I've used one fabric for something else. Last week, I decided it was time to finish this quilt, but could not find the border fabric. I had bought all the quilt store had and used it in a couple other projects. Then, while looking for a part of another UFO, I found it. By then, of course, I'd bordered and quilted it. Yugh!

    I misplaced the binding on one of my UFO's I want to finish for the UFO challenge. Now I need to find something else that will work. The funniest thing is that I cut and pieced it from stash fabric in one day in 2003. It is a big goose on a pond block that was either in QM or QN. Saw it, pieced it, and then got stuck on the machine quilting, so it has been flying in space ever since. Moved two times and don't remember seeing the fabric on the last move.
