This was an interesting topic to see discussion on. I belong to a wonderful and active quilt guild that meets every Tuesday....and a wonderful and active sewing/quilting group that meets every Monday. In each group we do some kind of BOM, so I always have two of those going slowly over a year's time. In guild, we have what we call a Blottery: someone demonstrates a block that each of us makes in a given color scheme to bring back the following month. However many blocks collected are divided into what could make a quilt of some size or even a table runner. Everyone puts her name in a drawing once for each block they contributed. Then, names are drawn for winners of block stacks to make whatever they wish. I have won blocks twice in the past year, but haven't completed a project from them yet. Additionally, at guild, we offer lots of classes either given by a member or by a guest teacher. I nearly always sign up for the classes, and they add to my WIP/UFOs. But, you just can't pass up the opportunity to take a class being taught by Bonnie Hunter, Karen Kay Buckley, Karen Combs, Susan Cleveland, and more. We have great teachers come in!! The projects I started with each of them is ongoing. Bottom line is that I have many, many, many projects in the works, and more stash than I deserve. Thankfully, I do have a dedicated sewing room with several machines including a 10' longarm and a new embroidery machine. The room is absolutely happy chaos!!
