After looking through my UFO basket yesterday, I realized that I had forgotten about most of the projects that were in the basket. Projects get packed up for one reason or another and then become buried in the closet never to be thought of again. Out of sight, out of mind! Could this be the reason why I have so many UFO's? Maybe. Yesterday afternoon I covered a 4'x4' foam insulation board with a piece of flannel and hung it on the wall above my sewing machine and on it, I hung this week's UFO project. Now I will see this project every time I sit down at my machine and it will be on my mind even if I am working on a different project. No more out of sight, out of mind!

Hmmm...where have I seen that project before?...
ReplyDeleteLooks like it will be a nice quilt. I am not sure that would work for me, I would probably just use it as wall art, LOL
ReplyDeleteWe all seem to be in the 'green mode'.. hahah! This will be a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteI too need to do the same thing.
I will get side tracked so easily though form projects I am NOW doing if I dig anymore!!
I was thinking I need to find a place for a design board though...the floor is just not working anymore for my old body!!;-)
SEW ON SISTA!
Hugs,

Great idea and cute blocks too!
ReplyDeleteSusan i love the color combination on that UFO. I do hope you get inspired to finish it. By the way, were you the one who sent me the fabric squares?
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea!!!! That should force you to finish it if you want to change your color scheme for your sewing area!!! lol
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how many UFOs I have...too many to admit to is the only thing I can say.
ReplyDeleteAnd they are very pretty blocks too. Are you going to add yellow?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Susan. I have a visual memory so I have to have things where I can see them -eg on a list or they cease to exist! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are looking very good.
Yea! Keep it in your view, this one is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cool idea. I do like the blocks they remind me of an amish quilt that is in Classic quilts with a blck background.
ReplyDeleteCool!! The green blocks are be-u-ti-ful!!!
ReplyDeleteWith me out of sight is definitely out of mind. That is my rationalization for having a little bit of a mess around. If I get too organized then I think I am done with everything. I like your current UFO..pretty greens.
