Sounds like we need a UFO Challenge of some kind!

I ran one of these at our local guild this past year and the idea was well received. We premiered our (U)FOs at the Spring Luncheon and there were two great basket prizes won, including one for the oldest UFO (15 years!).

Among the things we did was suggest several ways for UFOs to be completed:
1. Finish your own/keep your own.
2. Trade with another UFO-er to finish each others, but keep your own when finished.
3. Give away a UFO forever. This included blocks or portions of quilts.
Each month's participants - those who brought one, just finished or for trade/give-away, - received a fat quarter choice and a gag gift appropriate to the theme of procrastinating....jazzy reading glasses for "seeing your way clear"; a rubber ball for "getting on the ball"; a feather duster for "dusting off the cobwebs"; and other fun items.

Maybe after the first of the new year, when Christmas projects are over, someone can take on a challenge for UFOs.
