Pat Sloan How much of a scheduler are you?

So how much of a scheduler ARE you?

At the UFO page of my internet group (you ARE in my group .. right?)... we had a discussion about SCHEDULING our UFOs.. you know.. so we get stuff done.

Dixie has a major league master plan that pretty much put us ALL in awe.  It's like a 10 yr plan of UFOs she wants to finish (are you thinking what I'm thinking? She ADMITTED to having enough UFOs to keep her busy for 10 years?)

Moving right along.. yes she DOES have a nice healthy stack of UFOs... and so do many of us... cough cough.. yes.. mmm... even ME!  I have showed off my UFO list several times.. but have not looked at it lately.  So I dug it out in the spirit of 'coming clean'... at least with myself!

Are you wondering what my total is?

THIRTY ONE (31).. yes I did COUNT ALL 3 QAL versions

I am pretty darn sure there are more.. and I have the huge pile that has NOT BEEN STARTED but is all packaged just ready to go.

And I didn't count the embroidery, cross stitch or crochet projects... PULEEZE a girl can only take SO MUCH reality in one day!

I thought this DIY dry erase board was pretty nifty as you can customize it for how you like to track things CLICK HERE for directions

Hello webrdpskug,
If you be actually an undesirable tear-drop; In my eye, proizguhquv
good rdpskug!!

[Shirley in Canada]

I guess I have to recount again as I have done quite a few of them, but didn't keep the list updated. This time when I count I am purging some ... oh yes I am!!!

[MarciaW]

I have less than 20 quilt UFOs thank goodness. I have jillions in my head, some with fabric acquired and one kit, that I want to make.

[Linda in Calif.]

I'm really scared to count mine - but I'm sure I'm under 31 (I hope I am!) My new goal in life: to have fewer UFO's than Pat. LOL!! At least I'm way under 100. Hmmm...maybe those gals are having more fun than me. At any rate, I do like how your list is separated. Doesn't seem so bad that way.

[Wanda]

You are all amateurs. I am going to say I have 100, in various stages. Quite a few need backs and to be quilted, some need me to finish the bindings (at least 5 need the binding hand stitched and one needs binding made). Two are ones I am hand quilting,one large and one WH. Several others are hand applique. Then there are the blocks ready to be put together, once I figure out the setting and cut the sashing, etc. I have at least one applique that I started tracing on fusible. I also have a couple of paper pieced projects I started and am working on slowly as it is not my favorite. I am not counting those waiting to be started. I am getting them done and moved to topsville, and then trying to send one a month off to be quilted on the larger projects and working on quilting smaller ones myself.

I do have a couple of UFOs, but honestly most of mine are quilts not started. Pretty much designs I want to make where in some cases I've purchsaed a small amount of fabric I'll want to use. I do participate in a yearly UFO challenge where the group works to complete one each month. I'm two ahead right now of what's been called so far. I like how when others are pulled together it becomes a challenge to keep pace! Good luck and successful finishes. Sandi

[Kris]

I am just under 20, 17, I think. However, if I were to count the projects that are waiting to be cut, well, then I'd be over 30!

[Sharon Hughson]

Thirty one 31.....Amateur!

[Jane]

Well... I always try to keep the list of UFOs shorter than my list of finished objects... that actually works. Right now I think I am dealing with 25 to 30 UFOs. If I don't finish a project, I pick an UFO and finish that one... just to keep the list from getting longer.

[Laurie Sanders]

it would not suprise me at all if I counted over 50...in some stage of UFOness...sigh
