I have a couple of projects concurrently. I would rather not call them UFOs, but WIPs. Sometimes certain elements are lacking - the right shade of fabric, or inspiration.
What I've learnt is that once the optimum conditions are not there, I will not force myself to complete a quilt. If not, it will always end up a disaster, and lots of unsewing, waste of time and fabric.
So, I'd rather wait for the right window. When that time comes, it would be like pleasant surprise!
Question is - how do I make sure the WIPs don't get out of control, and I end up with permanent WIPs?
I make sure I really like a design before I start on it. If I am not 100% passionate about a design, I won't work on it. Afterall, I don't do that many a year.
My 2c worth
