I'm in the process of packing for moving and I have found 18 UFO's, and 6 finished quilt tops. Thank goodness I put each UFO in a separate bin with pattern, ruler needed, and the fabric needed to finish it. Now I know where my missing rulers are. LOL I kept buying one of the same rulers. I need a better memory and much more time.

I have zero UFOs, but I do have 13 PhD's! (Projects Half Done). Most are completed tops, as I absolutely HATE to sandwich, baste, quilt and bind. Others are cut and waiting to stitch together. Then there are the ones (I didn't count these) that I have the pattern and the fabrics to make them.

I counted them about 3 or 4 years ago and at that time, there were 24, or thereabouts. Since then I have finished a few of them, and given a few tops to my sister.

I have just my Allietaire as an UFO and its up on my design wall now so I'm actually working on it. Just came back from a quilt retreat and got one quilt started and finished, one project I got 80 blocks done and the other I have only 36 out of 100 left to do so I feel good. These projects I'm working on right now too so don't know if you could call them UFOs now or not.

Oh, I'm not sure. I used to only work on one at a time. Somewhere between 5 and 10, I guess.

Lovely bed runners and a fabulous idea if/when we just lose interest in the middle of a project. Thank you for the wonderful idea and beautiful examples :)

Do UFO's count if you are actively working on them or only if they are languishing in the closet?

All told, I've got 6 altogether. 3 I'm actively working on.

Hey Watson, I think UFO is in the eye of the beholder. I always have three or four (okay, sometimes as many as 5 or 6) projects that I'm actively working on--I consider those to be WIPs--unless I get bored or stuck on where to go next with one and it gets put away and becomes a UFO. Some folks consider anything that hasn't been worked on for at least a year to be a UFO.

My UFO pile currently has things that have been sitting there for anywhere from 6 months to 10 years waiting for me to decide what to do with them. When I pull one out to work on it, in my mind it's still a UFO until finished! I do eventually finish my UFOs I've just decided that it's part of my process to always have them. Right now I've got at least 20, maybe more... I also set a goal a couple years ago to complete at least one UFO each month and joined the UFO challenge... so far I've managed to meet my goal of 1 finish every month for the last couple of years, but I keep starting new things so the pile waxes and wanes, but never really goes away LOL!

That's like asking how much I weigh. Haha! I just sent 2 tops to the quilter. So soon to be 2 less UFOs. Not going to count just going to keep on sewing.

Now these are just tops in some state of assembly....you know we have tried this before. I made a list. The list is still sitting there. I got up to 13, ran out of paper. I've finished one since then, maybe started a couple more.

Hummmm......
