Let's chat Unfinished projects, that would be a UFO in 'Quilt-Talk' .. I have thoughts... many thoughts! Read on!
I've had lots of discussions over the years about how to handle UFOs. Sometimes several things happen and I then feel the frantic need to get them under control
This week when I chatted with Lindsay on my talk show she mentioned 'Did she have the passion to work on that quilt'. I have not been able to stop thinking about that. And then because I'm getting ready for new things, finishing up things, my own work area became crazy and I needed to address it.
So first.. I want to say if you do not have an unfinished project ... most quilters may want to take your pulse.... wink! Most of us have many that have not been worked on for.. cough.. awhile..
When I got my projects out to reorganize the storage of them yesterday I found the two above.
How did I decide if they are worth working on?
- When I found the top group of Cozy Christmas blocks, I got SO excited! I'd TOTALLY forgotten about that project. I love the big scale blocks, the darling fabric and that a TON Of blocks are DONE already. Enough i could set them without making many more .. STATUS? KEEP
- Then the second group of coney island. Again I got VERY excited to see the coney island fabric and I'd TOTALLY .. again.. forgotten about that project. BUT.. not many blocks done. And I started to think about it and realized that I was not feeling the love to make more of those blocks. They are to be stars. But I just was not excited when making them. BUT I love the fabric... STATUS? DO NOT CONTINUE with this pattern. BUT since I like the fabric, I'll find a new project for it. And the pieces already done? I have a box of orphan blocks They eventually will be use for .. something.. but it's better to have them in there than a whole project not being worked on.
