About 5 years ago I started a Christmas lap quilt. It's been pinned and ready to quilt. Every year I dig it out and swear I'll finish it this year. Well....it's still pinned and ready to quilt but NOT quilted. It's draped over a chair in the sunroom with the sides folded under so no one notices the batting hanging out. Too cold to sit out there so hopefully no one notices the pins as they go by. After Christmas I can't make myself work on it. There's always next year LOL.

Haven't counted...but my guess would be at least 30...and that probably is a low estimate....there are probably some I never will finish...I plan on going through the stack(s) this winter and weed out those and donate to charity quilts (like Project Linus)...they will be happy to get them, and I won't have so many unfinished projects sitting around.

I have 2 that I can think of off the top of my head. If I went digging I'm sure I'd find a few more.... ;)

I have a copier paper box full, and a dresser drawer full, and a few in odd places...
Yesterday I came across some triangles I cut for a quilt in a 1986 magazine (with the pieces) that are exactly the size I need in the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt. I'm sending half to someone on this Board, and stitched up the other half today!
Some may languish forever, but others may be finished or recycled SOMEDAY!

I don't worry about unfinished projects anymore unless I planned them as a gift. I used to fret a lot about not finishing things, like books and sewing projects, that I had started. Well, as I have gotten older (not old - Just older, maybe I should say more mature)I have decided if I got joy doing something while I was working on it or reading it - that is enough for now. Maybe someday I will finish everything or maybe not. I get so much joy from the creativity of planning and checking out my ideas that my brain is so active coming up with that I have given myself permission not to finish everything. I have found that my new attitude leaves me much more relaxed and fun to be around for my husband. Besides, I will always have something to work on when I can't afford to buy new books or fabric. Although my husband tells me there will always be new books and fabric in my future. He is such a Love.
