    I don't have so many UFO's as much as I have UQO's that need to be taken to the longarm. I always seem to find money/time/patience for the tops but actually having them quilted is where the logjam occurs for me.

    Yes, amazing, isn't it? I'm impressed!

    The only UFO I have right now is a King size quilt that needs the binding put on. I did start picking fabrics from my stash to start cutting for another quilt.

    I have some, but I finished up a bunch of tops last year, so I feel better. I have some started projects, and plan on finishing each of them. But like others, at times, I have other people's unfinished works, so I refuse to let their gift make me somehow feel guilty. However, I want to continue to get those unfinished projects "down" in number.

    One problem I have is that someone donated a bunch of ugly baby quilt tops to me. They are ugly, seriously, so I am going to cut them up as they are into squares and make them into an 'orphan block' or scrap quilt using QAYG technique with the back side a planned pattern, so at least one side will be pretty! I can't see anyone wanting the ugly side as I do have one lady who makes pretty lap/baby quilts for me, and why would someone want one of the seriously ugly ones when I have so many pretty ones?

    But other than that, I am probably down to under 20-30 tops (down from about 80?) left to quilt. Of those, I have about 10 sandwiched, for when I get in the quilting mood again. Right now I'm working on my DD#1's wedding quilt. After I finish her back, I'll will work on DS#2's wedding quilt. His fiance wants an "Orange Peel" quilt.

    So I guess in answer to your question, they do call my name, a little. One of them, a true Lemoyne star, I started working on years ago when I first started quilting and realized that I did start on a bit more difficult project than was a good idea, so I put it aside for a while. I'm about ready to tackle it seriously. (It is about 40 different LeMoyne stars.)

    No, mine don't call to me or bother me. The tops take up less room than the quilts which don't have intended recipients yet.

    Maybe this is the motivation we all need.

    I just shut the doors on the cupboard and leave them in the dark, they aren't alone in the dark in there, plenty of company!
    But, yes, sometimes they call me and this winter I have answered a few and finished them!
