    asimplelife: I like how you are keeping track of how many UFOs you have and how many you have finished. That's a great idea.

    Last fall I came up with reward system - for every 5 UFOs I finish I buy myself something on my wish list (a book, fabric, ruler, etc.) and for every 10 UFOs I finish I get to start a new project. I could see no other way to work down from 94 UFOs and 1) stay motivated and 2) keep a tight lid on new projects (my downfall!).

    This has worked so well for me. Most of my UFOs are lap size or smaller projects and I had a closet full of unquilted tops when I started... well over half of those are gone now.

    February I didn't finish any UFO's but still very motivated. I was able to get 3 quilts pinned and quilted 3 quilts, any progress is good.

    ladydeluxe - good job, you still accomplished a lot!
    asimplelife - you have inspired me. Next week I'm going to count my UFOs, and hopefully not give myself a heart attack!

    Thanks, Bev. You're right - I do like the quilt as a whole.

    What a lovely quilt. I love the fabrics you've used. You did better than me on the BOMs - I'm going to have to do the ones for February and March this month.
