You might not 'get over' feeling guilty; it might be part of your personality. I, however, never feel guilty and I have several tops stored away (temporarily) and am working on 5 other different kinds of quilt projects. If I get bored, I like to be able to switch from one type of project to another. I know I always finish what I start, so the amount of WIPs doesn't bother me.

Quilting is lot like eating, you finish a meal and then look forward to the next one. You always have something to do if you don't finish everything right away. I look at UFO's as old friends, I pick them up, work on them awhile and look for the next one, never get bored that way.

It would have been panic time if I hadn't had a few UFO's sitting in my quilt room. I just went, chose a nice unfinished top and set to quilting it. So I see them as future opportunities to get me out of hot water! :mrgreen:

I know we all do it, but... How do you get over the guilty feeling of projects going unfinished?? LOL David |
Take a deep breath and relax! This is supposed to be fun. Work on something fun for a bit then maybe a little on the UFO's. They'll get done sometime. My OFO's go in clear plastic tubs with the fab and the pattern that way I can work on the project a little or a lot depending on how I feel that day.

David: In the morning when you get organized to quilt....just say "eeny, meeny, mighty, mo" pick up a UFO and go sew.
