[QUOTE=RedGarnet222;7502486]I find that when I go back to finish a ufo it usually is the last thing done to it was somehow wrong. When I back off that last thing, I like it again and change it to what benefits the overall look of the quilt. I also get many donations for charity to finish up and it is because they get frustrated at some point and give up on it. It turns out to be a lovely quilt when it is finished.

Thanks RedGarnet. Some of these were abandoned because of my bad habit of moving on to the next exciting thing before I'd finished the previous one. Others I was finding boring to make, or I just lost interest in quilting for a while or was too busy to quilt, and when I came back to it wanted to move on. Or I was running out of one of the fabrics. But some of them are also associated with a difficult time in my life, and I think that's part of why they've been left. Now that I've learned to see a project through (at least I hope I have!) AND my tastes in quilts have changed quite a bit, I think it would feel a bit of a punishment to make myself go back and finish all these first. I will be going through them carefully, and will keep any that I still feel enthusiasm for, but as you say, the others can do some good if they're donated for someone else to finish and give to a good cause.
