I heard a lady joke that you should always store each UFO in it's own box, and that the box should have the name of somebody you know clearly marked on it.

That way....when your house is cleaned out after you die, each person can have a box with their name on it, and they can open it up and say, "Look what she was making just for me!".

I'm going to work on my quilts as long as I can, but this idea is definitely a nice way to keep control of your projects. I went to a quilt show yesterday and the guild was selling UFO's and quilt kits.

I decided last year that I would finish all my UFO's along with other quilts I had planned to make. I did get some of them finished, but I still have five more this year. It surely does take alot of time to get caught up on the UFO's! I do like the idea of putting each one in a box with someone's name on it.

That's a great idea! Although I'm almost caught up on mine.

I think we should not be able to leave until all our UFO's are finished. I know I would have to stay a while!!! :lol: :thumbup:
So I think I will take a long walk to start me Off on the right foot!
