And I have a full-sized paper-pieced top for which I haven't been able to decide what type of borders should go on it. At least I know I'll never run out of stuff to do.
I don't consider random single blocks to be UFOs. Every so often I want to see what a block looks like put together, or how certain fabrics work together so I'll make a single block. Maybe one day, when there are enough, I'll make an orphan quilt but maybe not.
My one UFO is a mystery quilt of Christmas fabric. It's a UFO because it's low on my priority list.
