Wow! You've never given away a UFO, thrown away a UFO or cut up a UFO. That's remarkable! Do you eventually finish everything you start? Or are there a lot of UFO's squirreled away at your house just waiting for "someday"?
I will admit that I've thrown away only 1 UFO - and that didn't bother me. When I was in Houston in 1992 I took a class from Nancy Johnson-Srebro on piecing a miniature feathered star quilt. The half square triangle squares finished at 1/4" each. I decided I didn't like her method because it wasn't nearly as accurate as my own. I also didn't like the fabrics I chose - purple and white solids. I'd used up about two 12" squares of fabric making inaccurate half square triangle squares and had no desire to go any further. That one was easy - into the wastebasket it went!
Wow Dawn!
I'm a little surprised you hadn't done them all. Like Patti said - never given up on a UFO. That is remarkable!
