I have one at the moment - the Poinsettia wall hanging that I started to learn how to FMQ.
I just finished two quilts and shipped them off to the LA quilter this morning. Ready to clean my sewing room, clean my machine, and start on the next quilt.
I do have a lot of fabric in my stash that I bought with a particular quilt in mind and either never started or decided that I didn't want to do. If you count that fabric as UFOs then there are too many to count. I figure that if I never started to cut and sew, it's stash, not a UFO. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Well, I'd really rather not count them, or I would get depressed. Let's just say that I started working on some UFO's this week that were started at least 3 years ago and there are no doubt more that are older than that. I'm being so efficient on clear this matter that I started some table runners for a friend, cut the strips out, made the HST's and forgot which block I was making. lol I just turned 65, maybe I'm genetically pre-disposed to blow up then, as my brain is running in another dimension. I'll let everybody know when I do finish some UFO's. Happy Quilting, and who's counting anyway, it's like trying to find those missing socks that disappear in the laundry, where they go, nobody knows.

Beethoven, DaVinci, Mozart, Dickens, Gaudi, Gilbert Stuart(portrait of Geo. Washington), all left work unfinished and nobody denies their genius!
Sometimes, even though your quilt isn't finished, you are finished with your quilt.:wink:
