Can you believe it?! It is Day 31 and I have somehow managed to blog about UFOs for a whole month – amazing! I hope you are not all sick of hearing about them, but have got some motivation to finish.. as I have…
My final tally of UFOs is 184 (I found two more) and this month only I managed to finish 2…. So that leaves 182….
I did not finish a whole lot, but I have managed to find ALL (I hope!!) of my UFOs, document them, and put them in some semblance of order. And that is quite an achievement, I am sure you will all agree!
Taking this month off to focus on my UFOs has been great. I have renewed motivation to work on them and get them done. I wonder… could I get them ALL done in 2017??? Let’s see!
For now I’d like to thank you all for joining me on this journey, leaving comments, and encouraging me! And I’d like to invite you to join me on a little challenge…
Christmas is coming up quickly, and I thought it’d be good to keep momentum going and challenge myself to finish two Christmas UFOs in time to gift or use this year. I have chosen this one:
It’s a strippy quilt – the top needs finishing, then quilted and bound, so this will be a relatively big project to finish. I hope I am not finishing the binding on Christmas Eve, but… you know me… 🙂
The other is a very quick one, this apron:
Just needs the hemming finished and the straps sewn and attached. So one “big” ufo and one “small” one. I think I can do it…
Will you join me in this challenge? Pick two projects, post about them on your blog, and we will keep each other accountable. They don’t have to be big ones. And since I haven’t hosted a giveaway for such a loooooong time, there will be a small Christmas gift up for grabs! So, leave me a comment if you want to join in, then blog about it and lets get a few Christmas UFOs done by December 25th!
I’ve really enjoyed seeing your posts about UFOs this month. I am glad to have made a new quilty friend as a result of Write 31 Days! 182 is a big number, but I’m sure you are going to have fun working on finishing them up. I’ll take your challenge of finishing two UFOs by Christmas! I will share them on my blog and have fun seeing if a little accountability might help me out with some finishes.
Love the pretty fabrics ♥
YOu did a great job of blogging for the 31 days and on a tough subject really–ufo’s–did not know one could blog about them for so many days!!
I know I have one small Christmas quilt to handquilt–will have to look to see if I have another one some place!!
Will let you know in a day or two–
love and laughter, di
Oh dear — I just remembered–I do have a large one too–will have to get that one out and have a look at it–
me again-di
I was thinking that I pulled out my only Xmas ufo & did it earlier this, bit I have another from a Xmas quiltalong, where I read the rules wrong & made wallhanging instead of a table runner. Hmmm! Might find that & do as a giveaway or gift. Thanks for the nudge. BTW, great month of posts. Well done you. Take care.
well done Joy…. it has been great reading and hearing about your very impressive stash of UFO’s! haha….. I’d like to join in the challenge- must go and have a dig in the box…

Just think, if you finished one UFO every two days, you could be all finished in a year. Bwahahahaha! I only have one Christmas UFO, but it’s a biggie. And it’s going to retreat with me in a couple of days. Fingers crossed for major progress.
Enjoyed reading your post about your UFOs..
Even though I only have one Christmas UFO I would still like to join in. Thanks…
Ohh that is a great idea! I have already started do finish two Ufo’s and have some more to go. So your challenge is just right in time, lol! Thanks for doing this!
I don’t really have a Christmas UFO, but I have a twin quilt that I’d like to have the top done before Christmas, so I’ll count that as a Christmas present to myself and the daughter whose current quilt is in shreds. Voila! Christmas UFO. 🙂
And I want to finish a “quiet book” for my grandson’s birthday which is just a couple of weeks after Christmas.
Thanks for the nudge.
Hi Joy, well I have no Christmas UFOs, but I’m certainly looking forward to using my spare time on the school holidays to work on some projects that are at various stages of completion… I’m mostly of the habit of working on 4 or 5 things at any one time, and finishing things fully before starting something else; a habit I think comes from my days of sewing clothes for my kids. I cannot imagine having such a huge number of UFOs!! Good Luck!
