    I am in the process of getting ready to move in 3.5 weeks, I really need to start packing! However I'm taking this time to go through all my fabrics and make a complete UFO LIST. I'm already at 10 projects and I haven't even started really going through the closet! I keep finding things I forgot I even had!

    I'm just wondering if anyone else has a UFO list that seems to never end??


    On the plus side I can keep the list and hand it in at my guild and they have a UFO program for each UFO you finish you get a ballad for a prize at the end of the year. I'm already done 2 in the last month.

    Our guild has a monthly UFO challenge. You pay $1.00 and show the item that you plan to finish, but it had to have been started at least a year ago. Then you bring the finished project to the next business meeting. Anyone who finishes a UFO gets their name in the hat for a drawing for all the UFO money for that month. If you don't finish your project, you can put in another dollar for the next month.

    My UFOs are numerous also. I have 6 tops to be quilted, 1 top to finish PPing and one quilt to start. I hope to get to the quilting when I finish the top.

    If you have been quilting very long you have UFO's. My problem is I get a new magazine or visit a quilt shop and get excited about a new project and start on it. I also have 6 tops to be quilted and at least that many quilt top almost finished not to talk abut the ones I have ready to sew. the up side of UFO's is I will never run out of project! LOL

    I know that UFO stands for UnFinished Object. But what is the term (acronym) for projects not started yet. I have bunches of those.

    If you are working on them, don't you get to call them WIPs now? :) :) Got to take credit where it's due! LOL
