My goal the first year that I retired was to finish all of my UFO's. I am now on year three and still have two very large Rubbermaid containers of completed tops, a bin of completed blocks and numerous shoe boxes of partially completed tops which I haven't counted. I have been finishing one UFO a month (guild challenge) and have given away a pile of quilts with another pile ready to go. I have emptied and finished a large bin and several smaller ones and have continued to make steady stitching progress. When will I finish? Who knows!

Gee, that's almost like asking a woman how much she weighs! LOL
I've only had one UFO and gave it away because I knew I'd never finish it.
I prefer to call my unfinished projects WIPs because I fully intend to finish them someday. I've got several in various stages of completion. I don't have a sewing room, so when I work, I tend to do more than one project so I can keep going. What I mean is that when I'm set up to piece, that's what I work on. Whatever needs piecing. When I rearrange the dining room so I can quilt, I try to do more than one while I've got it set up. It doesn't always happen though.

I just finished one of mine this week. I have 5 more actually in progress. I made up my mind last month, there would be NO purchases of a single thing until I finish these up. I do have fabric in containers complete with patterns to make quilts that I haven't even started on. I'm NOT going to count those! LOL They're next though after I finish these 5. I don't have the space to store all this stuff.

I have just completed a labor intensive quilt.I am taking a break from a serious project undertaking, but planning ahead. I have material cut but need to clear the dining room table after birthdays this weekend, so with a couple of days to kill, I am cutting fabric for two more quilts so they are ready to go.
