Vicki of Colorways by Vicki Welsh had posted recently her goal of getting her UFOs down to 10 by the end of the year. I haven't' been very good about keeping track of what was on my UFO list so I decided to look at it this morning. I had taken pictures of the projects, printed them out, and hung them on a door next to the studio. I was surprised that I got to cross off two items as they are now WIP and one item was just crossed off.
I am down to 10 items and I would love to knock off one or two more, but I don't think that will happen by the end of the year. If I don't get all those baby quilts done they will end up being added to the UFO list. I could start a WIP list - no, I don't need another list to manage! LOL!! I have the double wedding ring quilt to finish too. I am just glad I got to cross off the pictures of piles of fabric ends that have and are getting turned into quilts - the homespun is used up, the flannel pieces are mostly used up and all I have are a few scraps and blocks, and the African pieces are also mostly used up.
that would be far more WIP/UFOs list than my type A personality could deal with. I admit to 2 UFOs. Both for my daughter. Our relationship is ???? can't think of a good descriptive word. Sometimes I don't want to talk to her, let alone sew something for her. I never learn my lesson with her.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great Thanksgiving.

That's a clever way to manage your list. Photos are much more meaningful!
ReplyDeleteI like to make lists just because of how satisfying it is to cross things off. You have done well with reducing your UFOs so I hope you get through those baby quilts and don't have to add them on.
ReplyDeleteI keep a list of projects but don't distinguish between UFOs and WIPs. I never thought of posting photos on my wall. I'm trying to dig them all out again. They have babies while we're sleeping, you know.
