That's a lot of quilts to piece! I'm a member of the UFO Club too. That's why I keep telling myself no more starts until I get more finished. Mine are mostly tops waiting to be quilted. I don't count the ones that need labels. I've only paid to have 4 quilted this year. I'm going to have to do a lot better than that to ever get them finished. I too enjoy the piecing more than the quilting.

Depending on what isn't in the picture, I can beat that. According to my UFO list (yes, I did put them all into a list a while ago so I could look through the list if I know I want to work on something but am not sure what), I have the following:

- 1 quilt finished except for the label. The is a graduation quilt so I have to find out the graduation date before putting on the label. Should be finished and gifted this Dec if all goes well this semester.
- 3 quilts partially quilted (1 is an Alzheimer's quilt that I put together and started quilting just last night)
- 10 quilt tops finished, waiting to be basted and quilted
- 25 quilts being pieced

I may have missed some since I haven't been good about keeping this list up-to-date (like I just now remembered to add what was started in Long Beach), but it should be close. My interests flitter from project to project, so it really doesn't bother me to have a bunch of UFOs. I get really excited when I go back to each project.

I am betting that there are many quilters, or should I say piecers, who could top that. I am thinking as more and more people become comfortable with FMQ, and see what great work many long armers can do for hire more and more of them are going to get quilted. I hope so.

Marilynn, what is it that is motivating you to tackle your UFO's now?

Marilyn,
Wow! Absolutely amazing! I just went and cut a 1" sq. and can't believe how tiny it is!
I sing your praises, girl!

I've never seen anything like it. Can anyone beat that?

All are at least finished tops...some are batted and basted, some not !
Some big...most of these are "sofa" size and smaller...I love to piece...
there are more....a plastic tub full...Do we have a 12- step program for
quilt addiction ?TEEHEE

:shock: are they all UFO's

Ritzy...A drop in the bucket ! There are lots more...

I like it Marilyn--you are doing a great job of being motivated.

Well...It's too hot to do anything else but sew near the AC. Many triple digit days and more to come..
we will start cooling slowly after mid-month....I hope ! Those are 1' sq.s ...I sewed this one while on retreat
last fall..it helped to just get in the zone. I hadn't thought of the pattern as Irish Chain...but guess it is near
to that...there are thousands of over-shot weaving patterns...and for sure they are ancient ! I've started to quilt
the next little quilt.

Wendy, that's called 'aiding and abetting' keep it coming!

You better start collecting then Rita and just do it, they are lovely.

You mourning quilt is lovely Marilyn, very comforting but I hope you weren't in mourning when you made it.

Marilyn, I just love that quilt! I love the Irish Chain pattern even though I have never done one. I know what you mean about being boring to sew - I always feel the same way any time I do something with a very limited palette. And yet I would really love to do a red and white quilt someday. You are really flying through the UFOs at the moment.

Wow, Marilyn, you are just knocking them down left and right! Good job! Love the mourning quilt!
