Lets see...one for my daughter, one for a friend, and 2 Christmas gifts. Does it count as a UFO if you bought the fabric for it, have it all planned but haven't even put scissors to fabric yet? If that counts then 5. But the really sad thing is that I have AT LEAST 4 more that I have planned just haven't bought fabric for yet.

When my husband realized this, he decided that he created a monster when he bought me a sewing machine for Christmas 1 year ago...

I am afraid to count them. Gulp, but I suspect more than you have.

OMGosh! Why would you want to KNOW how many UFOs you have? You are seriously into pain, girl!!! What do I do to finish mine? Well, sometimes they get finished for a gift for someone special. And sometimes they don't! :-)

I made the mistake of listing the UFOs and the NYS (not yet started. My computer promptly crashed. I won't do that again. I am trying to get some of the done, I'm a great starter and a poor finisher.

I don't count them. It would overwhelm me to know. LOL! I do have charity and my own ufo's seperated into bins. I do a charity and then one of my own and so on. I worked one year on charity alone and it was too much. So I am trying to even it out so mine get finished too.

I have 60, but the good news is that I had 94 5 months ago! 2013 is all about UFOs for me, and I reward myself with a new project when I finish 10 UFOs. My goal is to average a finish a week this year.

Thankfully most of mine are kid's quilts for Project Linus with a few lap size quilts for me. If I had 60 king size projects I'd have given up!

I don't count anything I haven't started. To me a UFO is anything I started in 2012 or earlier.

94? Now I don't feel too bad about my stack of quilting UFOs. Of course, if you don't count just quilting projects, I might be up there. Lucky me, my DH fully supports all my crafty endeavors.

You are braver than me...I don't want to know how many I have...but it could be close to as many as you have.

I'm not counting mine either! LOL. But I do hope to get a couple of them finished this year. (or find homes for them.)

I haven't counted mine but I believe I outnumber you. I need to get started.
