You all have inspired me. I was totally frustrated with the quilt I've been working on. I finally said the heck with it & pulled out a small quilt. The small quilt I pulled out was more finished than I'd thought & the quilting left to do isn't complicated & much less than I'd remembered. So, thank you to all. :thumbup:

People need to learn to keep their opinions to themselves - and we need to learn to tell them that their opinion is not appreciated.

I don't want to know. I just want to get some finish for Christmas. When I am working on one quilt my mine is planning another. I would not know what to do if I had all of my UFO's done. The world would end. I quilt to forget about my Stress not gave me Stress!!! God Bless us Quilters.

Consider giving away the ones that someone else might want to invest some time in and get rid of the rest. This may or may not apply to you but it does to some quilters and I hate to see people beat themselves up over UFO's that have actually done their job.

at least 10 and probably 15 or so. Most need bindings or backs or to be taken to quilter. Oh well, the quilt police will just have to come and get me. All I can say is they better have backs I like and free LAQ. LOL

LOL boy I'm with you I have so many things started and not finished. I tell them, "If I finish them I would have nothing to get up the next morning for. Beside as long as I have an unfinished project I have to stay alive to finish."

I have some too, think of them as WIPS, works in progress! I don't care for some of these quilt police attitudes either, & alot, I have noticed, come from ones who don't quilt, or do anything creative, so who are they to judge, & how on earth would they understand anyway, right! Just remember... people who mind don't matter, & people who matter don't mind! I keep telling myself this anyway, lol... Just enjoy your quilting & don't worry about what ones like this say!
