I started quilting almost 10 years ago now. I love making the quilt tops and suck at doing the actual quilting to turn them into quilts. I thought I had maybe a dozen finished tops... yeah, it's closer to 3 dozen. And that's not including all of the many, many tops in progress. I moved to Seattle about 8 months ago, and my goal is to get all of the tops turned into quilts and to their recipients, instead of schlepping them around forever. I pulled all of the tops out of the box, made a list of them, and am working my way through. This picture is the tops all laid out. So far, I've sent about 8 to the longarm quilter (person who quilts them). I've also finished a few more tops. Yay finishing things! Attachments:

What a great project! I have tons of UFOs myself. Should really get around to sorting them out like you!

Ya, it definitely helps to see them all out. And count them. Since I was sure I didn't have that many. And these are only the tops that I kept. I gave away about a dozen finished tops plus dozens of UFOs when I moved

Update: I am finished!! Well, I'm finished making backs for these quilts and getting them scheduled with the quilters. Eventually they'll come back and need to be finish-finished, but at least for awhile, I am finished!!! I started with 34 finished quilt tops and made backs for about 2/3 and donated the other 1/3 (still counts). This box is where they lived. And now it's empty. Huzzah!! Next up: a wedding quilt. I thought I had until the end of March but my friend just moved the wedding to first week in October. And I haven't started on the quilt Attachments:

That's crazy amazing! Good job! If only I could finish the two that I have sitting around the house. It's no 34 but they still bug me!
