1. Knitted Patchwork Blanket (started when I was around 14 years old, circa 1992). This one will take a while longer to finish since I need to first KNIT the blocks before I can finish assembling it (*sigh*).

2. Wedding Ring Quilt (started when I was around 16 years old, circa 1994). This one has been in a half finished state for decades... I think the problem lies in that I lost some of the background blocks (*sheepish grin*) and also it looks a bit 80s to me.

4. Curio Hexagon Quilt (started in 2012 - update: finished Sep 2016). This quilt top is 100% finished piecing, but the pieced back panel is slightly too small for the top, and I've run out of Curio fabric, so I ran out of steam for finishing this quilt. I need to find a similar tone fabric to finish off the back and the assemble the quilt. It shouldn't be too hard. I just need to get my butt into gear.

7. Flora Kaleidscope quilt (started by my mom in 2014)
My mom finished piecing this quilt top from Moda Flora FQ bundle, and she even managed to finish safety pinning the quilt sandwich just shortly before she became very ill and passed away in June 2014. I plan to machine quilt it myself; I haven't felt much like working on it because it makes me feel a bit sad.

My completely finished quilts are shown at the end of the right side panel of my blog. Fortunately, there are more slightly more finishes than UFOs! ;)

I am glad to see someone else sews like me (or doesn't finish)! I have very old projects from 30 years ago. I should make a new UFO list, but I'd be embarrassed to admit what I've started in the past few years and left undone. At least all of your projects (every one!) are lovely. Mine not so much. :) Good luck and may your UFO list inspire some spectacular finishes!
Wow,
these are so adorable projects, they sure deserve to be finished. Lucky you, at least yours are started.
Greetings,
Sylvia
Difficult sometimes to pull them out and finish, but they'll be lovely when they are done (as and when you can). You may not be ready for your Mom's quilt for a while, but it is beautiful and she was obviously a great quilter.
It's so easy to start, and so hard to finish. All of your projects are beautiful, no matter what stage they're in. If I were to list my unfinished projects, the list would be scary! I have to keep reminding myself that the point is to enjoy the process.
I can never make a list of my unfinished projects, there would be too many!! You've got lots of wonderful ones on the go. I particularly love your knitted wool patchwork. All the different knitted patterns are little works of art in themselves.
Your UFOs are delicious. I know how exciting it is to think of a project and start right away. I am getting better at finishing my projects but I have learned to accept that I need to listen to the sounds of creativity when it wants to come out.
every single project your have showed here is amazing.I am glad I got to see them.
You've a beautiful bunch of value-added projects! I remember your zigzag, so pretty with the Kaffe fabrics. There will come a time when finishing your Mother's top will feel right. Don't rush it. Sending hugs.
