Sewing Room Cleanup
#11
I was right there with you last fall with over 100 UFOs! I'm almost to my halfway point now and it's been a real confidence booster to make a bit dent in the piles. I get to start a new quilt after finishing 10 UFOs and that has been very motivating. My goal is to have less than 25 by year end.
Luckily most of mine get donated so I don't have to worry about storing them!

After putting in a lot of heart and time into making a quilt, it can be difficult to part with it. However, I find when I make them for my family, Quilts of Valor and other charities, I find it happily satisfying to give or donate them.

Wow that is a lot of quilts. Open an Etsy shop and sell them to get money for more fabric. I have been working my way thru my UFO's this year too. My rule has been to finish 2 UFO's to start a new project. I have been doing pretty good with that. I have most of the easy UFO's finished now on to the harder ones. I had a wall hanging that was sitting for 2 years only needing binding. I feels good to clean all of that stuff out of my room. I have a pile of about 20 doll quilts waiting to be quilted. I plan to take a Craftsy class of FMQ and use them for my practice quilts. I donate them to Salvation Army for their Christmas doll program here. They give away 700 dolls every Christmas. Each one comes with a quilt. Their goal is to try to give each little girl a quilt too.

Your passion for quilting comes through loud and clear. It's a gift and good luck with your clean up. Sort your whole project into pieces and work on one thing at a time. That way you won't be over whelmed but pleasantly surprised.
