Just a few months ago, I was bragging how I didn't have any.
But now I have 2.
And trust me, after I get these finished, I will not have UFO's anymore. It seriously stresses me out! I) don't like having them(UFO's) because I feel like I will be redoing work I have already worked so hard on, like ironing. Luckily, on these projects, they are still in the block stage, and I have kept them neatly in a drawer.
My sewing room, however, is not so neat at the moment, so I may have to tidy up first. And then, I have a decision to make. Which one to do first?
I am excited to get these projects back underway and eliminate my UFO's! No more for me!!!
Your projects look great. Yours stars are perfect great colour. I promise myself I will not have any UFO's after every project I finish. I have 4 too lol

I still haven't decided which one to start! I'm taking it easy on the sewing before the weekend!
DeleteI love your blocks, especially the Greek stars. That's such a pretty background color.
ReplyDeleteHaving UFOs stresses me out too. Right now I'm in actively working on three quilts, and I'm going to start a wall hanging soon for a guild challenge. I also have one more UFO that is just bugging me. I hate having too many things going on!
I am determined to get these behind me! problem is all the inspiration around me! It makes me want to move on. But I know I won't be happy until they are done!
DeleteClean first, sew second. I know it doesn't seem like fun, but every time I try to sew first in a messy room, I end up losing everything and spending half the day looking for scissors!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your 2, er, 4 projects!
Cheers,
Leah
Tomorrow I will get to it!! It needs it! This last sewing session I could not find a darn thing! My husband came in to talk to me and I asked him if he has seen my purple magnetic dish with my pins on it(I was trying to describe it to him). he said" You mean that thing right there?".....duh, it was right in front of me..LOL
DeleteDanielle, the wonky stars are terrific. Can't wait for the reveal of the finished project! I also love the Greek crosses. Beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteI can only work on project at a time. ADD kicks in if I try to manage more than one project. My stash has many quilts to be made, but I faithfully work on only one at a time.
Leah makes a great point above. I have to start with a clean slate every day, otherwise I get distracted.
Thanks! I REALLY think I am have undiagnosed ADD. They didn't really recognize it to much in the 80's. At least I don't remember hearing much about it. It goes both ways for me. I really NEED to stay on track and finish, or I get anxious. At the same time, I get bored easily, so It's easy for me to lose interest. Especially when I see something new that inspires me.
DeleteI LOVE sewing in a clean room. I tolerate sewing in a messy room, but it just feels so much better when it's all organized and I can find things right away. Love you wonky star quilt, can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteMe too. problem is, it doesn't take long for me to mess things up. :/
DeleteI cannot believe that you only have 2 UFO's. That is unfathomable to me. lol. They both look great! I CAN'T WAIT to see your friendship quilt!!! AHHH! Only a few more days! :)
ReplyDeleteyep! only days away!!
DeleteI love the blue in that wonky star! Wonky stars look like a lot of fun; I want to do a quilt with them one of these days, but it's hard to justify starting one with the UFOs I have lying around!
ReplyDeleteI have another UFO that has very finicky fussy-cut stars....I wonder if I could modify the design to mix and match some wonky and some fussy. Or just go wonky and put the few fussy ones in a wall hanging....hmmm.......
