I looked at my UFOs one at a time (I have dozens) until they started to speak to me. I'd think about each one, list what I needed to do to finish it and before long one would really scream at me, "Finish me! Finish me!" and that got me going again and I ended up finishing 6 of them.
Over the winter I finished all my UFOs. I had to cut on spending. I had quilted 5 of them already and I have about 8 more to quilt. I am counting off the top of my head. The 8th one is not a UFO. I just have to find the perfect backing and quilt it. It is my special quilt so I have to find the perfect backing. I have more kits waiting but I did not count them because I haven't cut into them yet.
My quilts only tells me who they want to go home with. I wish the fabrics would talk to me. Then I can choose my own fabrics when I see a pattern I like.
