UFOs (unfinished objects) are common among quilters. Many people mention having over 100 UFOs! Some quilters may have only a few, but it’s rare to find one with none.
My goal for 2021 is to finish all my UFOs and release any I may decide that aren’t worth the time and expense. I need to face the issues with the patterns and my color choices. It’s time to boost my motivation to complete the ones with fabrics that no longer inspire me – those are the hardest to finish. I’m choosing one of four options for each UFO:
- Get it done!
- Make a smaller quilt
- Re-stash the fabric
- Give the UFO to someone who wants to finish it.
Quilts comfort people like no other object can. This is reason enough to complete them and share them with the world.
The quilt was a UFO on my shelf for years, but I finished it today. I won’t make this pattern again, but I’m happy with the mitered corners on the border fabric I used. I’m really thrilled to have it done before another Christmas passed by.
I think only another quilter, or maybe a carpenter, would understand why this photo makes me happy.
Mitered corners can be a pain to work on but some quilts keep begging you to do it until you finally give in!
