So sorry I'm no help either! I have about 4or 5 that I am currently working on, always have been that way. I see a pretty block, and I just have to try one.


Just come on over to the dark side with the rest of us. It'll be alright Hee Hee.

I'll bring the cheese and crackers.

I don't think I can count as high as the UFO's I have floating around here. I had to go to the LQS to get a fabric for a new project I will be starting tomorrow and I saw the most beautiful gold fabric I have ever seen. I litterally had to RUN out of the store so i would not be tempted.

I have to be careful, bc in theory, this sounds like a good technique for me, but depending on the circumstances, and who the person is, telling somebody about a project for them, makes me feel like running the other way. i don't know why. I just freeze up sometimes under pressure, so I have learned, NOT to tell somebody i'm working on something of theirs. When I am done, i'm done, and then they are surprised.
Just thought, I would give you the advantage of seeing both sides of a coin.
Telling is what I call, throwing your hat over the fence...now I have to go get it. It really works...sometimes. I am a conundrum. It may work for you! :D

Yep I think your on the wrong board......:-)

I find my NEW project my incouragement to get the old done.....I'd do one or two and then a NEW project...

I would forget how the project went if I put it done.....that's my reason for finishing......:-)

Good luck in what ever you do and try to get some finished.....you'll feel so much better when you do!

Ummm, can't help you....I think that my projects need to "age" properly for them to finish up properly. Also...sometimes if I put them aside at different stages and think about them..I change my plan of action and the quilt comes out better......well...thats my story and I'm stickin' to it! :lol:

I too only work on one project at a time....problem is, I have a couple of those going at once :D :lol:!! I have a few long term UFOs that I work on every once in a while, then my backlog of quilts that need to get done.

One thing that I have found helpful is if I know I am going to have some chunk of time to sew (which is rare), then I commit to working about 15 minutes on a UFO, even it means that all I do is piece together one star or trace a handful of applique pieces.....before you know it, that little bit of time has finished a project!

Isn't it nice how we're all different :lol: I usually can't make myself start on a new project until I finish the one I'm doing - for example, I have to finish the black and white blocks for the exchange before I start anything else :!: :!: :!: Sometimes, this is VERY frustrating, because I get bogged down and can't see my way out of a problem on a quilt. Now THAT'S when I SHOULD start a new project :? and give myself a break. It could be just the thing to get the creative juices started subconsciously. Funny thing is, I do have some WIPs despite my obsessive need to FINISH :lol: :lol:

if you use all the quilt tops at once they'd keep someONE warm :)

Why don't we just look at these wonderful ideas and see what we can do with this stash???

Oh sorry that's no help either!!!!
