    Well, I just discovered this thread!! I'm in for 2012, if not for the remainder of this year. I have a longarm business with 11 customer quilts waiting for Christmas, but that doesn't stop me from starting new projects and then tossing them in the closet! Booo! The problem is deciding WHICH UFO to work on first!! How do you decide?? Maybe the one you like the best? Or the one that can be finished the fastest?

    I like the "fastest " idea, It's quicker to feel like youve gotten something accomplished lol

    I'm with you Veronica. The one I can finish the fastest would be what would get me motivated to move onto another UFO.

    Sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe it will give us a little extra incentive to get busy.

    I'm in, I can't even count all my UFO's. Top of the list: my niece's cupcake quilt.

    Default How many was that again????

    Against my better judgement I have spent the morning going through my UFO's and I'm ashamed at myself! Here's the breakdown:
    4 projects that need the binding only
    5 that are totally ready to be quilted (I need to order batting)
    5 tops are done backing picked out, but backing needs to be pieced
    7 tops that are done and backing needs to be selected from stash or purchased
    17 quilts that the blocks are all completed, tops in various stages of completion
    28 quilts that the blocks are started, but more blocks are needed
    11 Patterns with no/some fabric to go with them
    33 quilt "kits" not started but all the materials have been purchased
    23 collections of fabric/pre-cuts that need to be matched up with a pattern

    Grand Total 133! Dare I wonder if I missed any?

    So my promise to myself for 2012 is to see how many of this I can complete and I also want to put my self on a purchasing freeze and only purchase items that I REALLY, TRULLY NEED to finished all of the projects I have started.
