I managed to keep from having UFO's for almost 4 years. Then I started a paper pieced quilt top. Then a class in another technique interrupted that project. (I wish there were a rule that classes had to give you enough time IN CLASS to finish a project.) Then I hit the dreaded doldrums and couldn't seem to work on anything. I solved that by starting... you guessed it... another quilt top, from scraps. Then we took vacation. So now I'm back to working on the scrappy top, determined to finish it up, and there are those 2 UFO's waiting for me. I would have called them WIP's as Thusnelda suggests, but I'm afraid I've already passed her 3-month limitation.
