I'm retired and live alone, so I generally have lots of time for quilting projects but, like so many of us, it's always more exciting to start something new than to finish up something old(er). I've come up with the plan to work on new projects during the week and concentrate of UFO's on the weekends. My first weekend arrived -- and I ended up hospitalized and unable to sew a stitch How can I fall behind when I haven't even started yet!

I'm late to the party as usual but want to join in. I will start with something easy and not too much left to finish.

Congratulations to those that have already finished an UFO.

Everyone be careful, no more injuries that stop the work!

I was trying to organize my sewing room this weekend and now realize how many UFOs I have (lots) Think this is the challenge
for me. Have one that doesn't a lot to do so think that will be my first.

Wow that is so cool!

I understand completly! Am in the same boat-- older and retired. Evidently sewing projects multiply while we sleep, because no matter how much I sew I never get caught up or run out of ufo's. And fabric scraps---well we won't even go there. If anybody out there would like a box of odd shaped and colored scraps let me know!

I've been so busy working on a mystery and BOM that I haven't even started working on a UFO.
