Since I prefer to wash my fabrics before using them in quilts, I would try to take the fabrics out when they are still slightly damp and then iron them sitting in front of my TV watching my favorite shows or movies, and the time goes by so much faster. My major cause for UFO's is sandwiching the quilts. I love the quilting process, picking patterns, picking out fabrics, making the quilt tops and then machine quilting. What I don't like is sandwiching the quilts, I wish I could find someone who likes doing that so I won't have quite as many UFO's.
