So, what is a UFO? For quilters and others that do crafts, UFO's are UnFinished Objects that get started but not finished, set aside for other projects to be worked on, and then wait to be finished. I have lots of UFO's, I thought I was at 15 but then found 6 more in a bin with some backing fabric I was looking for! The last 6 may remain UFO's forever or be given away to be UFOs to someone else. SO, in addition to returning to making quilts for others, I will slowly, but steadily work off my UFO's this year, all 15! How? In 20 minute increments! I have been working on a Feb challenge with one of my groups and every day have been sewing on one project for just 20 minutes. I was making real progress so added 2 more sets of 20 minutes for 2 other projects!
Now some of you very organized folks will ask why? Why not work straight through till you finish one? And I think that is because I always have way too many things going, also love variety in my work, and want to make as many quilts as humanly possible, so I will stop and start quilts, over and over! But this is my year to finished and then I will still work on 3-4 quilts at a time, but not collect UFO's.
Any of you have UFO's? Post them here.
I will see if I can "Pretty Up" my UFO list from my group post and put it here.
Well, off to start my first 20 minutes this morning!
Happy Stitchin! Shannon

Hey there! You'd be so proud! I decided I would finish off all those little squares before I start stitching them together again. Worked on it tonight for over an hour!
I'll keep bringing that UFO to group until it's done!
Very Cool! I look forward to seeing it in a couple of weeks! And I hope I will be working on a sweater by then! Or the never ending tablecloth....
Chat with you later, Shannon
