Since I cut in advance for multiple projects when I have the fabric out, it makes sense to do it that way. They are only 'works in progress', not UFO's (that term is too negative for our creativity)canquilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13401149472280402524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-25076648742076743702009-02-04T00:28:00.000+11:002009-02-04T00:28:00.000+11:00With UFOs as pretty as that DWR, I would want to s...With UFOs as pretty as that DWR, I would want to start as many projects as possible!

When I start a piecing project I see it through to the end (well, the flimsy end, LOL) <BR/><BR/>I have way too many hand applique projects in the UFO stage and all I want to do is start a new one. I need to pull out an old one and finish it. It's just more fun to start a new one.

I honestly couldn't justify starting anything new without making a serious dent in the old stuff. So for three years running, I made myself a list of all the tops I wanted to get done during the year, and did my best to stick with it. If the urge to start a new project was just too overwhelming, the compromise was that it had to come from stash fabric. Managed to cross about 20 things off my list in those three years!!<BR/><BR/>Then last summer I fell off the wagon in a big way. Seems that working on old projects had created a bit of a drought for me, so I went on a new project shopping spree - and it wasn't long before I had about 10 new projects on the shelf! Yikes!! What happened?<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness for me (?), I have a bit of an anal nature, so it didn't take long for me to organize how I would work on those projects. I set up a bit of a timeline as to what I would work on each month, and the system seems to be working well for me. I work on a few of the new projects, as well as at least one of the old ones, and I try to get one quilt top quilted each month. The best part of my plan is having the variety of working on different things, and being able to watch my progress as I tick things off my list at the end of the month.<BR/><BR/>I know that for some this would drown the creative spirit, but it's the answer for me.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/>AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955311616182275105.post-82986677832754692192009-02-01T02:22:00.000+11:002009-02-01T02:22:00.000+11:00I whittled down my UFO pile last year but I also h...I whittled down my UFO pile last year but I also have a lot of projects on my wish list.
