Most definitely-YES. I have enough past items to clutter 2 houses (and there must be room for DH-why he needs space, I just can't fathom). Three of my favorites; 1. Throw a fund raiser at the quilt guild-a raffle of all UFO's- you just have to be strong and not put any tickets in the raffle boxes; 2. warm the house in the winter-cut up like kindling and use for fuel in the wood burning fireplace; 3. Make into dog bed stuffing-cut into itty bitty pieces and give to the SPCA.
Just thought of another; play the pink flamingo game. Tie a great big flashy bow around the whole UFO. Add a note: "when you find this, give $5 to the Guild. Then you can contribute it to your UFO's or pass it on to the next lucky winner." If the recipient catches you planting your UFO, you contribute $5 to the guild and try to pass it off again.
