Are they still WIPs if you haven't worked on them in years?

I adore this quilt; why can't I just finish it? Around the center Schoolhouse block will be small sampler blocks, like the Sam pictured. It's a little wonky from being folded up for so long.

Started before my son was born; he'll be 2 in November. There are a lot more blocks completed, but you get the idea. Inspecting, or just a camera hog??

Honey,
I've got WIPs that are over 20 years old, LOL!
Sometimes you just get on to bigger and better things, you know? We have to leave *something* to our children after all!

OMG - I love your quilt inspector - is he/she a Tonkinese?

Inspecting, or just a camera hog?? Probably 'yes'. (Both) Beautiful quilt. I have WIP's that have been waiting longer than 2 years. You get to them when you get to them. I like your quilts. Nice work.

I think if we are really working on it (designing, cutting, sewing, quilting, or binding) then it's a WIP-- WORK IN PROGRESS.

If it's sitting in a box on a shelf, it's just a UFO-- UNFINISHED OBJECT-- to me.

Jan,never a truer statement has been made.I agree wholeheartedly.If I could just make my DH understand,he sees projects and says why don't you finish that it is so pretty.One day I am going to suggest he finish it,what ever it is.

Jan ... When my FIL passed away I was given suitcases full of quilt tops (6) and a box of fabric and assorted blocks that his mother made (back in the 1940's). I have only finished a few, but the projects will keep me busy for years. Like you said, it was something to leave for the children and, believe me, they are so loved! Needless to say, I doubt I'll ever run out of projects!
