Ok I'm in. I didn't think I was that bad on UFO's, but then I counted today. I have 23 - all in different phases. But, in all fairness, I do a lot of charity quilts and I do them in an 'assembly line' process. So, to break it down, I have 9 tops to be quilted, 9 that are in various states of piecing, 2 that 'just' need binding. For personal projects, I have 2 table runners to quilt and bind and 1 top that's to be hand quilted. Guess I'd better get off the computer and get busy!

Ok, I'll give a whirl. I always have high ambitions to get a LOT of quilts made but by summer I am worn out... something always comes up to take me off schedule and then I get so far behind - it's overwhelming.

By my count I have 9 UFOs including 2 baby quilts due by March, Allietare, and Hancock Fabrics Lewis & Clark BOM started 10 years ago - top is finished..just have to layer & quilt it!!
I am not counting my on-going leader & ender project although I should be able to finish one in a couple months...so that might be 10.

I started and finished 12 quilts in 2015 so 9 for 2016 should be doable.
As soon as I finish a Wizard of Oz quilting I am working on now I plan to finish Allietare.
After that I must inventory my fabric before I can go any further.
I started 2015 with 640 yards and used 70 but I think my current total is 655! I purchased more than planned.
But 2016 has got to be the year of using up my stash!
I want to get down to.... well below 600 at least!
Wonder if Allietare should count as fabric used in 2015 or 2016.... well I started it in 2015 so that's what I'm going with.

I'm in. I haven't counted my UFO's, but I'll commit to completing one project a month. I'm in the process of making my list now. Looking forward to it!

Count me in. Have several UFOs. I'm really afraid to count them!

I'm in. I have accumulated some UFOs over a few years and I'd like to finish some of them this year.

Count me in. I have so many UFO's that it would take too long to count.

Count me in. Have a bunch of UFO'S but haven't counted how many. Will start tomorrow but which one first? They are all hanging in a closet, maybe I should just close my eyes and grab one.

I'm going to give this a try -not 1 a month but maybe 1 every other month. One reason for this is because I am trying to do my own FMQ - I'm a beginner. The 1st quilt I want to finish is a T-shirt quilt for my grandson followed by a wall hanging for my daughter, which was supposed to be a Christmas present. I also have some baby charity quilts to do.

I haven't counted my other UFOs but I'm sure I'm close to the 25 count. Anyway, I will make a list in priority order and give it a go. Another stumbling block for me are some pending surgeries.

Hope this challenge will be productive. Thanks for the incentive.

Happy to see this thread for 2016, I am hoping to complete one UFO per month, last year I completed 8 ~~ my goal was again 12. I am ready to board the Train. :)

I'm in for the UFO challenge. I think I have about 10 to 20, baby to full sizes. Some of this are started blocks and some are just cut out ready to sew. Juanita from CA
