Awesome finish with K, Conchalea!
Madeline: Welcome! Please post pictures as you finish each one.
petthefabric: My body wouldn’t be too thrilled to jump either. 🙂.
I’m working on the donated Trip Around the World UFO. There will be a story to tell when I am finished with it. My promise is I will do the best I can to match the seams and finish it as I think the donor was planning. ❤️

Cool finish K and Conchalea! Love that Chewy got in on the finish as well!
Petthefabric- When I started on this thread I routinely had over 50 UFOs in any given year. I've gotten it down to where there are now 20 or 21. Last year I started with 33. I figure that I'll always have some UFOs because of how I work, but my goal is to be able to keep them down to a manageable level so my tiny studio space (and my brain) doesn't get overwhelmed. I'm thinking that 5 to 10 UFOs is a realistic number that I can stick to without experiencing pinball brain when I look in my studio, while also allowing me to start new projects when I want to LOL!
I hope to have my January finish done today- just needs binding a little hand stitching at this point.

Rob, thanks for the encouragement.
I'll always have WIP's; I get to a point that needs thinking and inspiration. And, I have way too many ideas to finish in my lifetime.
You're right, too many UFO's clutter more space in my brain and studio.

Jan. UFO finish!!!
Hey all, I have a finish. I signed up for Helen Godden's BOM for 2017 a couple of years ago and did all the painting and quilting of individual squares, but then put them away before joining them into the finished quilt. Here it is. It's approx. 58"L x 47"W. Thanks for looking.
