"I've been put on this earth to sew and finish a certain number of things.
I am so far behind right now…I will never die!"

Ok so before I started quilting I thought UFO's where those things that fly in the sky. In the quilting world UFO's are "unfinished objects" those quilts we start to make but never seem to finish.
Unfortunately I have a very short attention span so if a quilt top takes me too long to put together or doesn't quite look how I had planned it ends up in a box or basket. And please don't get me started about quilts needing binding... If it's a customer order it gets done as a matter of priority but if it's a project for me (in most cases) it will never see the light of day.
So today I am sharing my UFO's which comprise mostly of blocks that are ready to be sewn together to make a beautiful quilt that I just haven't got around to yet. You know when that thing called life gets in the way.
Here they are (in no particular order):
 |
| This one just waiting for binding |
 |
| This one has now been quilted and too is waiting for binding |
 |
| My first Chevron quilt still in pieces..lots of them arghh |
 |
| Another one still in pieces just couldn't quite get it to work |
 |
| Yep this one is in pieces too |
 |
| and finally this one.... |
Wow after looking through these pictures I didn't realised I had so many unfinished quilts. To make matters worse I have two more that I just don't have pictures of in various boxes..... Given it's a new year tomorrow perhaps I could at least promise to finish one of them - maybe..
So tell me - do you have a room full of UFO's like me - and I don't mean the flying ones !!
