Oh, I understand, I spend half my time looking for things, and then of course wind up finding things I long ago gave up on!

I get tired of working just on one thing. I usually have a quilt in the hoop frame, one or two almost finished and several more that I need lots of time to piece so they are in clear shoeboxes that I take out in the evening to do as I watch tv with DH. somtimes I even have a crocheted project going. That way I don't get boerd.

Whoopee! I found it. I had opened that drawer a half dozen times since yesterday. This last time, I moved the top piece of fabric and voila, there it was! tomorrow, I cut my binding. Or -- tonight after the Olympics.

Rachel you are not alone. I have small plastic boxes with projects in them that I have cut out, ready to do when the mood hits me. I work on more than one project at a time. I usually have one in the quilt frames, one that I'm embroidering, one that I can take to work and work on when work is slow. I think this disease has a name but I don't know what it is. HA

Too many to count and all in small plastic boxes - (some with several UFO's in each but been working on some each day - some day when I retire and have cabin fever I will finish all of them -- if not----my daughter will have to figure that one out....ha ha.... Its sometimes fun to have a change of pace - like looking for the fabric that goes with your UFO - binding or you did not cut enough strips - especially for log cabins.....

I don't have any. I finish one before starting another. Not enough room to store UFOs. As I am finishing one quilt I start planning another, and look forward to starting another, my reward for finishing.

My favorite part of quilting is the creating part so I have a lot of UFOs around. Every so often, I take a moment to finish something but not so often that I don't accumulate a lot more UFOs! To heck with the fabric, I say the woman who does with the most UFOs wins! :thumbup: :-P :lol:

Is is a UFO if you haven't cut the fabric? I have tons of patterns and fabric, just not together. I have 5 WIP, 2 binding and 3 need quilted and binding. I've just finished the 2 of the tops and one has been waiting for a couple of year to be quilted. I keep changing my mind about how I want to quilt it.
