glad to hear your husband is on the mend!!! My own personal feelings on UFOs is just get it finished and off your plate! I have had my share...and I'm so sorry I let them accumulate....they have a tendency to laugh at me sitting there in the corner! So I figured....I'll fix'em!!! And most of them I have or just plain put them in the round file!!!! Now at least I don't feel so guilty starting a new project with just 2 or 3 (somewhat small ones and that usually includes garment projects as well) laughing at me in the background....LOL!!!! But I wouldn't fret too much on your current project with the ugly fabric...finish it and use it as an everyday quilt - you know, something your not too concerned about getting dirty or abusing it. I was so anxious to do a quilt when I first started and I knew I really liked crazy quilts that I cut up 3 1/2 squares (or so) sewed them together and about half way through I was so disgusted with it I put it in the corner....(yes....I heard it laughing....LOL). Then when I wanted to do another quilt I too felt a twinge of 'do I really want to start another one without completing the hyena in the corner'? - N O !!! So I took it out and finished it!!! When it was all done I had to admit it wasn't too bad after all and it has become one of my favorites...it gets alot of use and abuse and is going strong! Sometimes when you get the ugly stuff completed it's not as ugly as you first thought...good luck with yours! Post a pic please....we like our pics!!!!
One more thing...I personally don't mind having 2-3 projects going on at the same time and not completing them....I get bored so the variety helps....but they do get done...I have 3 tops done...I just need to quilt them and that's where I falter and hesitate. I need to practice on my quilting machine so I can do something other than SID!!!! (LOL!!! my go-to quilting teqnique!)
