What is a UFO?<\/b><\/h3>\n

A UFO, in quilting terms, means Unfinished Object. It can be any sewing project that you haven\u2019t finished – \u00a0just a couple blocks you made or a completed quilt top you\u2019ve never gotten around to basting.<\/span><\/p>\n

UFOs can be so easy to accumulate but so difficult to pull back out and finish. We are hoping to help you organize your projects and come up with a plan to finish them. And who knows, there might be some prizes for Boulder MQG members who finish up some UFOs this year!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first step is to take inventory of your UFOs.<\/strong> Dig into project bins and closets and pull out everything you can find. We\u2019ve put together this UFO project list for you to print out and write down all the WIPs (works in progress) you discover. Write them all down – that quilt you started and then found that the pattern directions were confusing, the project when you ran out of fabric before you finished, or those quilt tops you finished but you just don\u2019t know to baste.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We put together a UFO sheet.<\/a> Print it out, list them all, and then stay tuned while we walk you through some ideas of why you might have put this project aside and some steps you can take to revive it. Later this year we will do a meeting that looks more in depth into a lot of these topics. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019d love to know how many UFOs you find and can\u2019t wait to see what you finish this year! Take a picture of your UFO pile and tag @bouldermqg<\/a> on Instagram and use #bouldermqgUFOs.<\/a> Hopefully we can all provide each other with some motivation to clear some projects off our plate to make way for lots of new quilts!<\/span><\/p>\n
