UFOs and WIPs

Isn't it strange? I just took stock of all my UFOs last week and Monday, I saw three posts about other quilty blog UFOs. (Here, here, and here.) I'm part of a great group on flickr, Project UFO, but haven't been active for a while, and it shows.

What precipitated the inventory of projects was actually finding a list I made last year before Christmas. I was trying to power through things for gifts and Pay-It-Forward projects.

Please, forgive the poor iPod photo.

Not too shabby, huh?

Well, things look a little different, now.

Again, apologies for the bad pic.

I have 25 different projects in various states of undone-ness, two months of VQB Queenship to plan for, and about 7 VQB blocks to finish for other Queens. It stresses me out, a bit.

So!

I'm going to pick three things to finish right away. Since I have the fabulous Lisa Sipes lined up to quilt it, I'll try to knock out the last Olympic Ogee and pick background fabric.

Then, I have a pillow top I made a long time ago. It should be a very quick matter to complete the back and stuff it with a form

The first of many pillows I hope to make for my living room.


And lastly, my dear friend M made a quilt top for her baby nephew. She asked me to quilt it and send it on its way. I finished the quilting a month ago, but still need to bind it.

This was only her second quilt. Isn't it magnificent?!


How about you? Do you have a list of outstanding projects, or are you afraid to even take stock?

  1. Way to tackle your list, pal! Good for you.

    Too many to admit in public.

    Boy, that M sure is talented! ;)
