I do that too, Last year I promised myself I would go back and finish 6 projects I had started before starting a new one. So that is what I did, I was tempted many times. But I kept at it till I was done. except a sunbonnet Sue I had placed some where else and forgot about. You can do it put them in a bin and work on them until they are done or bin empty. i like the table topper idea on this one, It would make it done any way!!!
good luck
