If you are a quilter, you are very familiar with UFO’s (Un-Finished Objects). Dedicated quilters (and other crafters) have a LOT of those. I have too many to count. I buy all the materials, start a project, and then move on to something else before I ever finish. Some times I just buy the fabric and never start at all! Well, I’ve dedicated this month to FINISHING! I thought I would share some of these UFO’s and then let you know in the coming days of my progress.
Here are a few of the unfinished things I found lying around. I have dozens and dozens, so I will just give you a peek at a few.
This little Halloween table topper just needs to be quilted. Maybe I will add a border.
I found these blocks on Ebay some time ago. I’d guess they are from the 50’s or 60’s. They are handpieced. I added the polka dot and navy fabrics. I have six blocks. I could probably make a little lap quilt.
This little Fall stitchery is almost done. I hope it looks cuter when is is quilted.
Same with this tiny wallhanging. It’s my first attempt at hand applique.
I’m ashamed to say I have purchased whole quilt kits that I never even started. I’m not even sure I like them anymore. If I do tackle them, I will probably update the fabrics.
I liked this floral fabric a lot when I bought it years ago and found some coordinating prints. I started some piecing, thinking to make it into a quilted jacket. That’s not going to happen. But it would make a nice charity quilt.
Here are a couple small holiday items. It wouldn’t take much to finish them. I just have to have a reason.
Loved the unusual color scheme in these holiday prints.
These “orphan” blocks I picked up at a guild meeting. I’m sure I could combine them into nice charity quilt. Our guild makes quilts for a local shelter for women and children.
Well, I could go on and on, but I will stop for now. Time to get sewing!
High five to you Pam! I was just thinking about yesterday, about all of my unfinished projects. Good luck to you, and have fun!

Yes, it is interesting what you accumulate over the years. Not everything is worth finishing, so I will see how it goes.

Thanks for the reminder – I have a quilt top that I’ve fallen out of love with. It can go onto eBay tonight and become some-one else’s finished object.

Your comment made me laugh! I unfortunately have inherited many other’s unfinished projects by way of Ebay. There’s a sucker born every minute!

Yes, I’ve no doubt taken on more than I can handle. Hopefully I will make SOME progress!

Good luck. Maybe you could sell some of the kits to take the pressure off a bit!

Well, these are what I kept, after giving some others away! But I have finally come to the realization that I won’t live long enough to finish everything I have. Maybe it’s time for some giveaways on my blog.
