You are allowed to have sample blocks and then change your mind about making the quilt. Then you have orphans and no UFO. Not even begun sewing? Definitely doesn't count "against" you.<BR/><BR/>My only recommendation with that cut up fabric for projects you haven't started yet is to be free with it. If you do actually start sewing another project and that fabric would work, go ahead and use. Don't save the fabric. Reevaluate periodically and decide if you still want to make the unstarted projects, and if not, toss the fabric into the scraps pile.<BR/><BR/>My husband complains about "retinal burn" as well, tho not in those words. he covers his eyes and cries "it hurts, it hurts."Tonya Ricuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778059489713831067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603032139825742973.post-70733790471762215552007-03-30T14:02:00.000-05:002007-03-30T14:02:00.000-05:00My definiton of an UFO is one that has already sta...My definiton of an UFO is one that has already started having pieces sewn together and then abandoned for something else.<BR/>Great colours for all your projects that you have going! <BR/>I think Sandra's idea for a border for your sherbert quilt would work quite well!Rose Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222914515169308269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603032139825742973.post-64168059416247367752007-03-30T00:59:00.000-05:002007-03-30T00:59:00.000-05:00I believe that a UFO is not a UFO unless some of i...I believe that a UFO is not a UFO unless some of it is sewn and then it's put aside from boredom, lack of ideas etc. A WIP (work in progress) is what you're doing now. A PIGS (project in grocery sack) is fabric and pattern gathered together to make "some day". Does that help? Sounds to me like you have some PIGS and WIPs but not many UFOs LOL.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by my blog - I bookmarked yours, I enjoyed reading it and looking at your pics. I LOVE the sherbert quilt. What about a narrow border in plainish darkish colour, then piano key border to finish it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
