Yes...going through things is tedious, quiltingshorttimer. Fortunately mine in downstairs and when I get overwhelmed it's out of sight, out of mind. And once you get started, it's easier to get rid of things, as I try to be realistic in what I can really use. As I fill in the WIC with items I see the space I have and then start eliminating more.
In my sorting yesterday I found a quilt top of 56 squares ready to sew. I haven't sewn much this week so I sat down and have the rows all webbed together, Eleanor Burns style. Now to find a backing when I'm finished and I will have a UFO done.
