connie_1936, I'm in the same boat! I've got mine in a couple of places as well as under the table in plastic tubs! We'll find & conquer it all!

I want to focus on some projects this year and not purchase.

Here is my list.

1. Star Struck (currently quilting)
2. 4th of July (top)
3. OBW (sandwhiched ready to quilt)
4. Log Cabin (top)
5. Blue block quilt (sandwhiched ready to quilt)
6. Floral Quilt (blocks)
7. Bargello (partly pieced)
8. Pin Wheel (HST's done)
9. Fall blocks (from swap)
10. Butterfly blocks (leftover from other quilt)
11. Warm Wishes (piecing project)
12. OBW 2 (piecing project)
13. Diagonal Strip quilt (only have fabric bought)
14. String Quilt (piecing project)
15. Breast Cancer blocks (from swap)

Numbers 1, 14, 13, 3 are my plans for this year. My sister also requested a baby quilt that I think I will use number 6 for.

Kyia
Wow! Kyia you're already organized and know which ones are a priority! Kudos to you! I'm still looking for all of mine!
Welcome on board!

You want the list?

WIP
1 baby quilt
2 Orion star
3 square in a square #1
4 square in a square #2
5 butterfly garden BOM original
6 butterfly garden BOM #2
7 all borders

There are also several quilts that are ready to layer and quilt. That list is longer. I'll be happy just to work on the WIP.
Another impressive list! Welcome Scissor Queen! Make sure you take pictures of the progress! If you need fabric that's ok. Most of us have waaaay too much and need a 'fabric diet' of sorts!
Blessings,
MaryAnna

Getting things DONE is my goal for 2011 (also no buying...at least for a few months) :(

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 JulieM! Sounds like you are off to a good start, and I'm sure you'll find more projects.


Welcome michelehuston, we've got the rest of the week to count & figure out which one's first. I say tackle the one nearest to completion- for that instant gratification.

Blessings,
MaryAnna

do we have to (claim- admit to) all of them?
part of my problem is i get overwhelmed thinking about how many of them there are...i know one at a time...so, i will spend the rest of the week (trying) to get them *organized* and a count...
no shopping-no starting ANYTHING NEW until the old is done and gone!!! :thumbup:
Welcome onboard CKcowl! You have been busy. You can do this, the worst part is the finding & organizing part....the rest is fun. And I'm with you....no new projects until the old ones get done first!
Blessings,
MaryAnna
