You have to really stay focused until you're done with it. If I do put a UFO away it can take me a couple of years. You know the saying, "Out of sight out of mind."
I'm curious, how many hours a day does this include in your two months?
I have to put things away at times. Usually because something else comes up and I need to set aside what I'm working on to do another project. (Darn those weddings and mother's-to-be! :wink: ) But I also have different projects going that are for different areas I quilt in. I have a quilt I work on when I'm at a friends house or at a quilting bee, an applique or hand quilting project I work on when upstairs watching tv with hubby, a quilt that I'm working on downstairs in my quilt room...you get the idea. Doing a single quilt just would not work for me at all.
