Are they still WIPs if you haven't worked on them in years?
I adore this quilt; why can't I just finish it? Around the center Schoolhouse block will be small sampler blocks, like the Sam pictured. It's a little wonky from being folded up for so long.

Started before my son was born; he'll be 2 in November. There are a lot more blocks completed, but you get the idea. Inspecting, or just a camera hog??

I've got WIPs that are over 20 years old, LOL!
Sometimes you just get on to bigger and better things, you know? We have to leave *something* to our children after all!

I think if we are really working on it (designing, cutting, sewing, quilting, or binding) then it's a WIP-- WORK IN PROGRESS.
If it's sitting in a box on a shelf, it's just a UFO-- UNFINISHED OBJECT-- to me.
