If you are more than 50 percent done, don't worry about making it a UFO.. Think how quickly it will be completed when you get back to it.
That's what tends to happen to me. I pick up a UFO and usually am amazed at how quickly I can finish.

I hear you, Julie! I get bored so I usually have a couple or even a few projects going at once. That way I don't get bored. I don't do many scrap quilts but I have one going with those Creative Grids Scrap Crazy templates. If I just want to sew I sew up those blocks. It's been there for awhile but it's fine. I'll eventually finish it. Sometimes I just want to sew without thinking

I was in the same boat, getting bored with a project. So I picked one day a week to work on another project. I call it my Sunday , whatever day you pick, box. I am more content working on my projects this way. I also have knitting to do when I am tired of the sewing machine. I am thinking of doing 7-day boxes. Would be different each day.

I am the mother of creating UFO's and, that's OK.
I get to them eventually.
I have a list on my wall and mark them off as they get done, add them to the bottom as they get created. I figure I 'm not going anywhere and they won't go bad, so why work on something that isn't giving me joy right now?

I always have multiple projects going at once. When one project gets boring, I can move to another machine and another project. Of course, this means my studio often looks like a fabric and thread explosion happened in there . I also don't mind putting some projects away to save for later, which is why I will always have UFOs. The UFO thread is great for helping me keep them to a manageable number so I don’t overwhelm my storage space.
