how many UFO's do you have now?
 

I have Two.

Seven...in the quilting category.

I only have 2 quilts but too many to count of other crafts. thanks for clarifying the type of UFO.

One still in pieces I’m trying to finish up- my Bonny Hunter Goid Fortune; then I have one I need to add borders to and I think 3 waiting to be quilted. I have 3 others in boxes or bags I really doubt I will ever finish and I truly need to purge them. One ( the oldest one) has been sitting for almost 16 years. I’ve held onto it because even back then I spent over $500 for the fabrics- that fact alone has kept it in the sewing room but, about once or twice a year I pull the box out, look at it, instantly become overwhelmed, stressed and irritated. I close the box and put it back in its corner under the cutting table.
This weekend I’m sorting scraps, trying to clean up and declutter.

I have only four left and all are at the stage of sewing the backing together, sandwiching and quilting. One of these will be professionally quilted as my skills just won't do it justice. I've promised myself that there will be no new projects until all UFOs are finished.

You mean the ones I plan to finish? Because I have a few that I will never do anything with. Let's see. 2 that need binding. 5 that need completing. And at least 2 that I'm working on. I have a list written out and am hoping to finish up some of the undone projects.

I have one in quilting (a horse quilt) and will start getting the fabrics for the next one this coming week when the "Horse" is completed from quilting and the binding and the label. ;-)

Come on over to the UFO thread under the challenges forum. We have a lot of fun encouraging each other to work on those pesky UFOs. This year my goal is to complete 1 each month (I started 2019 with 25 quilting UFOs).

I have too many to count. (Ireally don't want to know)
One of my other quilting sites has a project going to help clear out the UFO's. They actually wrote down and numbered 12 UFOs and each month they pull a number and that is the one you work on that month with the goal of finishing it that month. I really should jump into that and clear out some of these.

i have 3. But have slowly been finishing them up before spring

I'm sure I have more than 50... the underbed storage bag is bulging! LOL

Oh no, are you going to make me count? :D

I have at least 5 or 10 or maybe even more!

Well let’s see! It depends on how you define it! I have 3 that are in different stages of work. One is sort of pushed aside and I am not sure I will ever finish it. The other 2 are in work right now. I am also hand quilting a lap quilt. I have 2 completed tops I will someday take to the LAQ but one is a scrap quilt I am not sure about. It may be a donation. The other is “Prairie Wedding” and will be a gift for a family member when needed.

I also kit patterns from my stash so I can just go get one when I want to start a new quilt and I have at least 40 mini quilt kits. I usually make a mini every weekend.

Three being pieced but they are on hold until I get at least six of the 14 completed tops quilted. I Half finished the first one yesterday. I am a beginner and can never figure out how to quilt them but I have resolved to do mainly all over simple designs and just get them done.

T-o-o-o-o-o many! I had a period of recuperation from an illness when I could piece, but didn't have the energy to quilt, so I pieced and pieced....and stacked and whacked....and now? Oh my!

Do I have to count? I don't want to know.

I don’t have any UFO’s. I am a huge procrastinator. If I let myself have one, I’d have 10 by the end of the week! So I finish one before I start another. Sometimes they’re WIP’s for awhile though. I’ve been refurbishing my current project for about 8 months. Not because it’s labor intensive but because I’m not enjoying the process.

most definitely over a dozen. i quit counting!

I have quite a few tops waiting to be quilted (somewhere over a dozen), but I don't count those as UFOs -- those are completed tops even if they aren't quite quilts yet. My joy is in the design and piecing part of the process.

I have three projects in process. One is still being cut. One needs the blocks to be laid out again (they are already numbered) for the border sections to be arranged and the rows assembled. One needs to be laid out and then sashed and assembled, I'll probably be cutting out the sashing for that today. I do have a baby quilt waiting to be bound, but I hate handwork and usually take those to my small group... My hubby is home sick and my house is small, I do most of my layout on the queen sized bed so no layout projects for me today.

I have a couple projects planned but not yet started, other than the fabric collecting which again I don't count. I mostly work with scraps and charms and it can take years sometimes to get enough fabrics. But it is true I am ready to cut/start two of those, my Christmas String project, and my snowy January quilt which will be a sampler of 9 large lone stars, each made of different snowflake fabrics in blue and white, I'll make the stars more like snowflakes and not like radiating arcs of color.

So the closest thing I have to an UFO I am still considering as "in progress" but I haven't worked on it in months. I keep meaning to, but I just haven't been feeling it. Part of the purpose of this project is paper piecing and I just haven't been pushing myself to work on this not so familiar technique. It is a farm quilt, rather contemporary instead of my typical traditional style and will be embellished with buttons and appliques and other such things. It will have a few pieced blocks, the Barn unit is done. I'm still planning on paper piecing some more, a horse and pig heads, a mama chicken, some chicks, hummingbirds, couple of others. Then the rest of the quilt will be larger pieces of fabric being fields and such. The bottom third or so will be crops grown in Washington, so there will be potatoes but no pineapples! There will be some roads between the fields with tractors or whatever. The cabbage fabric will have little bunny buttons hiding in there in the end. The middle third will be the farm animals, again various largish pieces of fabric with pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, etc. The top third will be the barn block (it's an original barn with a silo, the block is maybe 15x20"), the tiny paper pieced hummingbirds and the horse pastures. Above that will be a pond and wild ducks and geese and sky, to the one side I'll try for some distance perspective and use some farm prints for off in the distance. The quilt will be all over edge to edge quilted with a simple chicken wire design.

For decades I was very good about completely finishing each quilt until I decided that a top counted on it's own. I don't sew every day but I try to, schedule and health permitting. I've have small groups to go to and I need something portable for that, that barn quilt is not portable -- at least not the way I work. So I try to have a couple of things in progress that I can take.

From being on boards and in discussions, I think some of you are way too hard on yourselves on what is an UFO -- some people practically consider keeping a magazine with a picture of a quilt that they like as an UFO! I'm a big believer in having fun while I quilt, even though some parts of the process can be tedious. All I can say is when you determine that no, for whatever reasons you aren't going to finish a project, get rid of it! Yes, just in whatever condition it is, you don't have to finish it. I was at a quilt show yesterday and the guild booth had a UFO section with all sorts of projects in various stages, and a bin of orphan blocks for $0.50 each or something like that.

I have way too many to count--I am making RWB blocks for a swap, a bear panel half done for my grandson, a civil war quilt half done and 3 quilted ones that I need to bind. At this point I am too overwhelmed to know where to start!!

Way to many to count. My joy is in the piecing the top.

More than enough to always have a project to do. I'm only concerned if they're in the way. Happy quilting

Way more than I care to count. I’m the queen of starting something and then getting distracted by something new.

I have many unquilted flimsies; in fact, I decided not to finish any more quilt tops until I made significant inroads in quilting my finished ones. However, I am still piecing planned projects and bagging them at various stages of completion; I think of them as projects I have a head start on, rather than as unfinished, LOL. This started about three years ago, when I suddenly felt impatient with my stash and organized much of it into projects. I really admire those who work on one quilt at a time until it is finished, yet that is definitely not my method at this time; maybe in the future I will transition to that approach.

I have 2 quilts to be quilted and bound (one needs to be sandwiched), 3 table runners and 1 table topper to be quilted and bound.:( BUT, on the bright side I have finished 4 table runners, 1 wall hanging and one table topper. :D

I have (6) six UFOs.

Do quilts waiting to be quilted count? If so, I have about 20.

Totally with you on that .... what we don't know, can't hurt us ... right? :D

Though I have done pretty good this winter at lowering the count!

You mean on the short list? (The ones I am trying to complete?) Two tops worth of finished blocks waiting on sashing and three purses in different stages. Oh, and a small wall hanging I am appliqueing down right now.
I like to put a small project in between to give me a breather.

I'm not willing to admit how many UFOs I have. I'm working on a graduation quilt for my grandson. I have a list of priorities I plan to do next. I will not start anything new until I finish these UFOs.

I have 1 that needs binding, 3 that need quilting, and 4 that are in various stages of piecing.

I'd love to get to the point that we would only work on one at a time til it was finished, but I don't see that ever happening.

UFO's are a slippery slope. I don't start a new quilt until the previous one is completed. That being said, I have one. I finished piecing a quilt top. I plan on using it on my bed. But decided to make a two sided quilt, and haven't figured out the other side yet. So the one side is stored, waiting for the second side to be determined. It does sit in the back of my mind.

oh my!!

6 UFOs for Quilts For Kids (3 needing binding and 2 needed quilted and binding and then one that I am still piecing the top on)

1 curved log cabin top about 1/4 of the way pieced.... that I swear I will get finished for my own bed ha ha ha ha

1 grand adventure quilt that I am just starting for a church raffle donation

1 little girl baby quilt that I am taking my time on because this great niece is not due until October (and she might even end up being a he ha ha)

well not as bad as I thought it was going to be :D

I still have the original list that someone on this board encouraged all to make. I got up to 13 and threw in the towel. Goodness! How did I get so many? So I have actually crossed off about 3 of them. They sit on the chest of drawers waiting to go to the L.A. In the mean time, I have collected a few more. I do need to update my list and see where I really stand.

Oh dear...this is a loaded question for many of us! Like QE says, what I don't know, doesn't hurt me!

*giggles*
Sew many UFOS .... Sew many hiding spots, to tuck them away!!!

(geeeee .... maybe we need another new thread to go with the two other threads ....
how often we tidy up our sewing rooms .... and the great excuses not to do so) :D:D:D

Happy Sunday!

I had two cut out finished one top this afternoon. Started making the other top and will finish making it tomorrow. Tuesday or Wednesday I will find backs and sandwich them up. By the end of this week they should both be finished.

I don't really consider these UFOs. After these two are finished all the way then I will start another. I never leave unfinished quilts very long as I don't have room to store them.

I only have two. One I'm working on the back, will sandwich and quilt myself. The other I just need to take to the LQS for quilting. I have many self made kits ready to go, so I like to finish them up before a I start another.
