Lots of reasons for my UFOs and WIPs: When I was working, I often did not have the "bandwidth" to deal with the hassle of putting on borders, piecing a back, and figuring out how to quilt the top; but the cutting and piecing of the blocks was therapeutic. Sometimes, a deadline for a new project means having to set another aside; for instance, I have two weddings this years for which I want to gift quilts. Sometimes I'll choose to do a new, small project before tackling finishing a larger project - just for the faster satisfaction of a completion. Finally, now that I have retired and purchased a mid-arm, I want to get more practice by quilting donation quilts before I finish some of my own or gift quilts.
