Make Peace with Those UFOs!
Are you one of those rare quilters who refuses to begin a new project until the current one is completed? If not, you probably have a few unfinished projects on hand.
Whether you have a few or a lot, unfinished projects (UFOs) can weigh heavily on the mind. They don’t need to, however.

There are very good reasons for taking a break and working on other things, and even for letting projects go entirely. Brooke Kosofsky Glassberg has written an excellent article listing 6 reasons to leave projects unfinished.

Making peace with your UFOs can unburden your mind and jump start your creativity at the same time.

In the long run, you may find yourself being more productive by letting some of your projects go (and taking time off from others).

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you! PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
