I'm so glad you've given me a new name to use for what I called UFO's. Now maybe I'll feel better thinking of them as "quilts in progress"!LOL

I have around ten, could be 20, in various stages. If I separately count the tablerunners, placemats, etc that I am getting to quilting stage it would be higher. I have dedicated spaces and bins so I spend my time working and not hunting. I get far more accomplished that way and always have a clear mind about where I am going.When I am working on throw size I now must have an intended recipient in mind or it stays at top stage. About once a year I donate the tops without recipients to a ladies group that finishes them as quilts and sells them for funds for mission work.

Oh, my gosh...this is a funny thread!

This is an interesting question that always comes up when we have new students enter into my classes.

Many are gasping for air, when they find out how many quilting projects others are working on...
Most of the gasping are the new quilters...then two years later...they are surprised at how many projects they have going themselves.
So much fabric, so little time. lol
When we do small group retreating, (we have many small groups), I suggest that they list projects they wish to have finished in one year...and ask them to list them on the back of the business card from where we are retreating.
We keep those cards on our sewing machines...referring to them throughout the year...(We book another retreat for the next year and give a prize for the one that brings the most finished projects from their list...) Really fun...keeps me on track .... and motoviated!

For the last 10 years I have tried to keep a running list of completed projects. That makes me feel a lot better than listing the WIP's. (Work in Progress) But some of my projects are actually UFO's because I haven't touched them in many years. I have a couple of quilt-wanna-be's that were started over 15 years ago! Maybe one day they will make it to the Completed Projects list! LOL
When I was a new quilter, I would start quilts with lots of small pieces, and then very soon get bogged down in the tedium. A new quilt magazine would send me back to the new-project-mode, and the old, tedious project would be set aside. Later I learned to not even start those beautiful designs with lots of small pieces, knowing they would never get finished.

I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of things I haven't completed. But remember, it isn't the number of projects you finish but the joy you have in reading this board:)

I currently have 3 queen-size tops completed, waiting to be basted and hand-quilted, 2 wall quilts waiting to be basted and hand-quilted, and a sofa size which I am on the last border of hand-quilting which I will bind and use for charity fundraiser overseas. I am ITCHING to start another 2 queen size tops that I have the fabric for. I have NEVER had so many UFO's and it's REALLY bothering me!! I am almost ready to have someone ELSE machine quilt them so I can get on with my new ones! And I still need to get started on my Xmas presents (3 x tree skirts and matching table runners!) I exhaust myself just thinking of it!

I have to admit, there is nothing like hand quilting. It is beautiful. But it boggs you down in getting things completed! Machine quilting takes hours instead of weeks & months (sometimes years), and frees you up to make more tops!

I think I have 16 UFOs.

I'm a longarm quilter, and I've finished about 100 client quilts this year so far. The shoemaker's children have no shoes; the longarmer's quilts have no quilting. LOL!

Seriously, folks, I need to finish some of these projects. They take up way too much space and they are preying on my mind.
