I'll get cracking on finding all of my wips & ufos and I'll post a 'before' picture along with my count, and my priority list. Let's all post our lists & count by January 1st, and a 'before' picture would be great as well.

How does the last day (or last Friday night) of every month sound for an 'all night PJ party?' Or you can pick a better night, just let me know. we'll quilt away the night in comfort!

Blessings to all,
MaryAnna

and I am starting NOW....

Welcome onboard jaciqltznok! Just pick your battles....line them up and count what you can. just as long as you've got at least 1 to start on in January. As you get going, keep digging until you find all the rest.
Blessings,
MaryAnna

SUGGESTION: The last time I organized my sewing area, I removed anything NOT sewing related (and gained a bit of space). Then I put all my WIP, UFO, and collections together on one shelving unit. This unit is BEFORE my new fabrics and magazines and books. I HAVE to see them before I start something new.

I'M IN - will post list later this week

Welcome quiltinghere! And what an excellent idea....organizing a shelf and putting our wips & ufos right in our plain sight, for some that might just be the ticket to success! And others might still need the organization and 'lining' them all up in order in a closet, and as they finish one project, then grab the next in order. But I love your suggestion! In either even, organiztion is key...knowing what you have and lining up your priorities.
Blessings,
MaryAnna

oh, I have them counted..38 queen quilts already started, 18 swap block sets ready to be put into something, 14 table runners, 22 candle mats, 18 wall hangings(in assorted sizes), 4 tote bags, 23 aprons, 8 pillow cases, 6 quilter's necessaries, 8 pin cushions, and I am still digging them out!

I'm in. Want this year to be more productive have ufo's to count. Thanks for getting us motivated.

Sadiemae 12-28-2010 09:24 PM

I can't find mine to count yet. I am starting to go through my house one room at a time, and get rid of anything I haven't used in a year or two. One person just doesn't need all of this stuff, and I know I will be a happier person when it is finished. In the process I will find everything and get it organized.

I do know what I am starting with.

1. Super Fast Pink Jelly Roll quilt for my Great Niece.

2. Baby quilt, Single Irish Chain, Focal fabric that has Monkeys.

I can see I will be in GOOD company as I tackle my UFO list this year!

michelehuston 12-29-2010 04:37 PM

I honestly have no idea where to start. baby quilt and quillows as they will b the easiest and fastest to do. After seeing some of the postings, I do not feel so bad about my huge list! I have every intention of sticking to this..just have to stay out of lqs!!
