If you check out ...I am SOOO with you on this one! If you check out my previous posts on my blog, you'll see my partial "list" of UFOs in pictures - while sorting recently, I found a few more! Ughhh!!<br /><br />I moved all my baskets and plastic boxes into my main room, where they stare blankly at me whenever I enter the sewing room - it's a bit overwhelming and unnerving, to say the least! However, I did pull out one of the large baskets and set to work on it. After finishing the block construction, I laid them out on the family room floor. I now have all the blocks joined into rows (14 blocks in each row) and the rows pinned together into sets of 2 (14 rows, 7 sets) ready to sew together.<br /><br />The way I've got this figured, if I do a little when I can and a lot one day of the weekend, I can get these projects wrapped up in, say, oh, 10 years or so! ;)<br /><br />And that's not starting anything new . . .Barbara Ann Beamer Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025333309584416412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101952367384435498.post-55665715580544041522011-02-13T06:01:29.490-08:002011-02-13T06:01:29.490-08:00UFOs and WIPs I understand ... but what's a PI...UFOs and WIPs I understand ... but what's a PIG?!DevonMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01037277157178928349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101952367384435498.post-22958938707676751632011-02-12T18:50:49.541-08:002011-02-12T18:50:49.541-08:00I have a running list for each project I am workin...I have a running list for each project I am working on. It was very long about a year ago. I have ticked away at it and I didn't start a new project till there was less that 15 to do quilts.<br /><br />It really helped me to get it written down and organized. i was able to give a couple of quilt tops away because I really didn't want to finish them but another quilter really did.<br />Good Luck!Crafty Maine Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628773754733034018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101952367384435498.post-63824111212188467512011-02-12T18:06:05.105-08:002011-02-12T18:06:05.105-08:00Constantly....

I was experiencing the same anxiety. It helps me to have fewer projects staring back at me. =P <br /><br />Using one project as a leader and ender while working on another is a great way to feel like you are accomplishing more. I do the same thing. Good luck with your plan ... the main thing is to keep it fun.Karen (Misiz C)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03289202004929672841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101952367384435498.post-62917135172543793172011-02-12T17:10:01.837-08:002011-02-12T17:10:01.837-08:00I am really stressing about my UFOs and piles of f...I am really stressing about my UFOs and piles of future projects right now. I'm working on a commission piece and have to force myself to ignore "new shiny things" (as Ann-Maree said) and stick to my existing project. I'm so easily distracted....pcflamingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206688121231793996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101952367384435498.post-60076494287633495222011-02-12T16:19:43.231-08:002011-02-12T16:19:43.231-08:00Hi Chris I can relate!

I have reached the stage where I no longer lust after the newest range, or the biggest FQ stack...I am finding that I do have a piece of fabric or a FQ that will don the job nicely..who knew!
