If you’re planning to join the 2011 UFO Challenge, here’s where you can add your link to your blog post or your photo page. Please be sure to add the link to your direct blog post and not to your main blog! Links to main blogs will be deleted because when readers want to check your list in a month or so from now, if your link goes to your main blog, they will not be able to find your post.
Example: This is a link to my main blog – http://www.patchworktimes.com. This is a link to my UFO post – http://www.patchworktimes.com/2010/12/15/my-ufo-2011-list/
The first link is not right. The second link is correct.
Before you link:
- Make sure your link is to a blog post and not your main blog
- Have your 12 UFOs listed in the blog post BEFORE you link up.
Please share your link here:

Hello Judy, I listed my UFOs for 2011. Hugs from France.
I’ve got a tab just for this challenge which I’ve linked to. Once a # is drawn, I’ll write a blog entry with more detail about that month’s quilt and have links going back and forth.
Thanks for putting together this challenge.
my list is longer than your list… doesn’t sound as good when speaking of UFO’s.
I’m definately in!!!
I’m in! Trust me I’m doing 9 other UFOs in 2011 that will keep me involved!
I could only think of 10 UFO’s, so I listed 3 quilts I have been wanting to start and haven’t yet. Hope it isn’t cheating! One quilt on my original list I have started working on, so it is officially no longer a UFO—so I didn’t cheat from that perspective :c)
Thanks–this is going to be fun!
Ok, I’m in. I think this will be fun.
I have tried and tried and I can’t link my post so although no one will be able to see my progress unless they are a follower, I will be playing along. Can’t figure out the problem :c( Sorry for all the attempts, but I also can’t figure out how to delete them.
I’m in, looking forward to this.
I bent the rules a bit to suit me — because you said we could
I so badly need to do this – how encouraging to find that I’m not alone.
I will be working on my complete list tomorrow, in between wrapping teacher’s gifts and such like.
ok…hopefully i have linked up to my blog post. i’m not always sure what i am doing. but i’m in for the year. LOL
Looking forward to the Challenge!
I’m in Judy. I’ve got to get this stack of UFO’s reduced. And this challenge is just the thing to keep me accountable.
I started early! I’ve been working on my UFOs since Oct 6th; these will still be here in January 2011 I’m quite sure
ok I listed my 2011 goals, it’s at the end of my post. There is really more I’d like to get done…but I’m chicken to list it.
Wow, if I can even get through 1/2 it will be amazing. Posted my draft list on my flickr set and will finalize this weekend!!
Ok, I’m in though I haven’t finished my list yet. I am curious to see how many I have!
There also seems to be a fe new names participating in this challenge. Maybe you’ll have a few more participants in stashbusting and design wall posts as well!
I believe I’ve linked to my UFO list on my blog. (I hope.)
This is going to be fun.
Thanks for the challenge, Judy! In making the list I’ve gotten all fired up to work on these again! Very much looking forward to the coming year.
Hi Judy, I have my UFO’s listed and I know I have a few more that I might have to add. Thanks for this challenge!
I’m linked and ready to go!
Jeanne
I guess I am in for real too! Wish me luck. Some of them are easy, so that hopefully will give me encouragement to keep going when they get done!
As I said before it would take me forever to find all the ufos as I am a Serial Project Starter – LOL. In the post before my ufo one I shared my dilemma. My guardian angel must have been listening because he sent me to my rocker and there were 12 + projects for me to do. I’m in! And it is the first time in years I have been able to sit on that rocker. Thanks for the challenge, Judy!
Angie the overwhelmed no more!
I have several quilts that are not going to make the list. There is no possible way that I could finish them. I do dabble on those from time to time. But thanks for the push to get these other projects finished or even started.
I have close to a 100 UFOs right now (it’s embarrassing), so I’m really looking forward to this challenge. I’ve added a tab to my blog dedicated to my UFO Challenge! Thanks Judy, I so motivated!
Unfortunately, I need the gift of time to create the list and afraid that will have to come around December 29th, when we take possession of our space again and all the children have gone home. My sewing room will be the temporary dormitory for the little kids – scarey thought !!!
I tried to link to my blog but I didn’t do something right twice. I don’t know if I am useing wrong address or what but I will keep trying.
Didn’t think it would be that easy to list 12 UFOs. Boy, was I wrong.
I plan to participate – but if I start blogging, I will never get the UFO’s done!!!
I just posted my UFO List for 2011….thanks Judy! This will be fun!
Thank you for your motivation and inspiration! It will be fun to see everyone’s progress. Almost 50 already!!! Hundreds of quilts getting finished and put to use! Amazing.
I’ve chosen my 12 projects. I may end up editing the list some between now and when we start. Looks like I’m going to have the longarm fired up most of the year!
I know I’m missing some projects, but the four I posted would be amazing to complete based on my procrastinating history.
I have chosen my projects and hope I can complete them… I don’t quite have 12 quilt projects, but do have a few other sewing projects.
You cannot even imagine how many UFO, WIP, and PIG projects I have. I will be retiring at the end of March and have great plans. I have my list of 12 for 2011 appreciate the opportunity to participate in this challenge. Who knows maybe I will attempt a blog. But then, I would probably spend time blogging and not quilting. Smiles
Just finished my blog post for UFOchallenge 2011 – thanks so much for initiating and hosting this year-long challenge. Will try my best to accomplish my monthly picks!
OK….I have linked my UFO list! Wondering what your number selection will have me working on!!
I added my list to my blog and linked. Thanks!
I finally stopped wavering and made the decision to join in. I need all the motivational help I can get. LOL
What the heck, I have tops and quilts to finish, why not join the crowd. I already participate in the design wall posts, and that helps me get motivated, so maybe this will too.
Thank you for encouraging us to finish our UFO’s.
Mostly Simple,
Margo
Hi Judy!! Thanks for this challenge! I am really looking forward to it and had fun picking out projects today.
OK…I’ve signed up and my first post is published. I’ll get pictures up as soon as I make a final decision on the list. Sounds like a great way to keep me motivated!
I listed myself again because I somehow got erased from the list.
I first listed on December 18 – so I hope I am not messing up the records! I need to GET BUSY – that is for sure!
I’m in! I have 51 UFOs! ‘m going to try to finishtwo per month. And I’ll finish what I can during my vacation for the next two weeks.
I’m a little apprehensive putting up my list because I hate to ‘promise’ something I might not be able to finish. Judy has said though that if we can’t finish, we can’t so, WHEW, my list is up. Good luck everyone!
I thought I was in but I just checked and linked in. I’m scared to do this, I’m not great on follow-through but I have to find the magic again. Maybe this will help.
I am looking forward to finishing some of my older projects….
Okay, Judy. I did it again. I’ll have to post pics when I dig everything out.
I’m in. It took me a while to mak emy list and post pictures but I’m in. I’m pretty excited about this too. Hopefully with everyone participating and posting I will stay on track.
Glad to be #71 on your list. Looking for a good sewing year in 2011.
Sherry V.
I’m in and I’ve posted about the challenge. Now to find (or redo) my list. I have only 12 actual UFO. I bet as time go on I’ll find a few more that are hiding.
Thanks for the challenge. I do hope I have met all the criteria correctly.
I have big plans for 2011 but I will have some funding issues. This is a way I can work around that little glitch.
Who knows, I might even get a move in some time next year……….VBG
Not sure why I keep getting un-listed – worked on this afternoon to make sure it links back and think that it is fixed now. My list will be updated around 12/29/10 when I can get into my rooms. Revvvvvvvving up and thanks
Well, I’m in! If nothing else, I’ll get a little closer to done. But hopefully, I’ll get a lot closer!
thanks for the great idea! i’ve never heard of this before (must have been living under a rock, i guess) but i’m so excited to work on some of these projects. we’re a bit busy in the summer with our market garden, though, so i guess i’ll have to be a bit more flexible!
I think I’ve linked. I have a list up. My camera is missing in action but I’m sure it will be rescued soon and then I’ll post a few pictures so i can keep track of what I’m doing.
I just signed up. This UFO challenge is just what I need. I tried to get rid of a few UFO’s this year, but not as many as I wanted.
So maybe I get more done in 2011.
I came back to check out some blogs and noticed my link was not there so I added it again. (I hope that was the right thing to do) Just let me know if there’s some I’m doing wrong.
I’ve thrown my hat into the ring. Thanks for the kick in the pants I’ll need to get some of these finished.
I finally got my list together and posted it today. I am hopeful that I can get these UFO’s done in 2011. Can’t wait to start.
Ok, Judy, I have posted mine! What a great list of participants – hope we call all finish up some of our UFOs!
You’re pulling me into this blog stuff Judy!!! Looking forward to getting stuff finished this year.
I have at least UFOs in various stages. I am still digging them out from their various hibernation spots. ~ksp
I hope I can join the group without a website. Love your great blog Judy.
I’m a player…maybe I can finish more this year with your challenge
Looks like I am number 98 on the list. My rookie blog has two entries now. I often wonder why we get so motivated at this time of year to get going again. Next task will be mastering taking pictures and loading them on the computer. Baby steps, baby steps. I noticed there was already a Joanne H so I will go as Joanne. Thanks Judy for getting us going and based on following the Stash Report and What’s on Your Design Wall, keeping us going. Joanne
Number 99 in the challenge. Looks like a good group. Hope I can keep up.
I posted on my blog and linked up. I hope I did it correctly.
Hi Judy L – I have my list on my blog, but now I do not know how to get the link back from your blog to my blog. Can you help? Thanks
I have “linked” up with your UFO Challenge and now all I have to do is to list my UFOs. That will be a challenge in itself!
Love your challanges Judy…….just wish you would tell me how you fit so much into your life. If I finish half of these I’ll be happy.
Man, I sure hope this will get my butt in gear.
I joined the challenge. I did fairly well on my own last year, hope to continue in that way with all of the rest of you.
Thanks Judy, I enjoy your blog.
Gayle
Sigh…. my list of 12 is only the tip of the iceberg. Thanks for hosting this challenge Judy.
I am excited to start the challenge. I started a blog (instead of photo sharing) to document my progress thru the challenge. Hope I did it right.
Wow! 109 of us… UFOs will be flying all around this year! I’m heading off to a quilt retreat New Year’s Eve… I’ll get to work on project #1. I have a long way to go on this one.
Kat in Tamale Land
I’m amazed at the number of quilters joining your UFO Challenge, Judy! You’re the Pied Piper of quilters!!!
This is going to be so fun and encouraging and inspiring. GO, everybody–all 100+ of US–GO!!!
Wow . . . do I get something special for being #110? Not so much, huh? Maybe I should have waited so I could be #111 in 2011. I never think ahead.
Anyhoooo . . . I hope you don’t mind that I made my challenge one big mondo quilt to be completed in pieces over the next year. I haven’t been quilting long enough to have accumulated any UFO’s to speak of, and it’s kind of not in my nature to leave things unfinished. They just niggle in the back of my mind, driving me crazy, until I finish them. However, a big project like this one has been known never to get off the ground. Doing it this way will help me make my way through it in a measured way and by the end of the year, I’ll have completed an amazing quilt. Now I’m excited to see it finished. Thanks for the challenge.
I love this idea. I have so many half finished projects. Thanks for thinking of it.
I am really looking forward to this. Thank you for organizing it.
I’m still learning this blog stuff so I’ll accomplish 2 things with the challenge or hopefully 13 things! Thanks for the push
Judy D
Hi Judy Thanks for the challenge. I linked to my blog page that has my list. I designated a seperate page instead of just a blog post. If this is a problem, please let me know. I figured if I keep the list front and center it will help keep me on task.
Boy do I need to do this—I have “tons” of unfinished “you know whats”???
and I never know which one to work on next to finish them–so this way–you get to tell me—love the idea!!!! Will try to get my 12 listed by the first of January–
am doing some “clean up” work on the computer right now!!!
Hugs, Di and miss gracie
I am #115
I truly hope I can get all 12 of these done this year. It would be wonderful! I have other goals to accomplish besides these, so wish me luck.
Good luck to all!!
I can’t wait to knock a few of these out. I’m glad the rules are a little flexible since I’ve got a couple with deadlines. Thanks for the push.
wow i am so excited to try this out. i picked 12 ufo’s but have many more.
I’m in! I already have 12 UFOs in addition to the ones I listed, so I guess I’ll be ready for next year — LOL! My favorite thing is creating UFOs. Whether I finish all 12 next year or not, I have loved dragging all of them out of their hidey-hole and fondling them once again. It has inspired me to do this!
Well, here goes. I guess since it is in print, that means I have to do it. Thanks for the kick in the seat.
Hopefully this will force me to finish some of the ufo’s and maybe work on a few other items too.
Thanks for doing this! I am joining up because it’s a year long and you have a fun twist with the numbers being drawn. I like that each month the work will be a surprise.
I created a blog just so I could participate and clean up some of those “loose ends” that have been around a long time!
Thanks for motivating me.
I’m definitely in for this, and finally got my UFOs chosen, and they’ve had their closeups, Mr. DeMille. I’ve got a BUNCH of tops needing quilted, and I really hope to also finish all of that this year. But at the very least, I’ll be making some progress. Thanks for the nudge!
When I said “this year,” I really should have said “NEXT year,” since I didn’t really mean in the next two days
I’m so afraid! Committing…scary! Thanks for the motivation. Can’t wait to get started, and get some things done!!
I’m in too. Thanks for organizing this challenge and heading this up. A couple of mine haven’t been started yet, but with a push, I may be able to get the tops done when their numbers are drawn.
Thanks Judy,
Jane
What a great idea. Just finishing one a month would be an accomplishment and is very doable – thanks for thinking of this and hosting it. Now, on to finishes.
I’m now in two places and I don’t think I have it right! (#126 & #127) I’ll work on this to get it right.
Okay, I am now in 3 places and it is still not coming out correctly. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I followed the directions or at least I think I did. Not the sharpest blogger in the shed, apparently. Judy, can you help me?
Judy, I have it now. If Mr. Linky would kindly delete 126, 127 and 128 the list will be so much better. 129 works. I’m a little bit persistent even after I ask for help. Thanks….
Judy, I have it now. #129 is correct. So the other 3 (126,127 & 128) need to be deleted. However, that all works…I’m a bit persistent even after asking for help.
I’m ready!!! Pull a number now!! lol
I’m ready now!
So, I’ve blogged about my list and linked up. I’m excited to get these projects done. Thanks for the challenge. Hugs Ariane
My first blogging experience! My list is posted.
Wow we have over a thousand UFO’s. This will be fun watching as we mark projects off of our lists!!
I am ready for the challenge
Hi Judy
I have added a link — this is my first one so please let me know if it has worked. Hope you had a great Christmas and that you are looking forward to the New Year
Whew! Got mine listed before the 31st!! I think this will be so much fun!! I will add pictures when I find all of them…some are buried pretty deep!
Hi–let the fun begin!!!!
I have two main blog sites and have decided to just use the workbasket one for the UFO challenge–all projects are pictured there–and I will be showing a picture of each months challenge on the side bar–with updates–plus will probably have updates on the main site—quiltingisblissful.blogspot.com
thank you for all the time and energy you are putting in this==
and I love your site!!
Hugs, di and miss gracie (kitten)
Not sure why Mr Linky adds me in red…. Have I been a bad girl? Thanks for the incentive to get moving.
I think I should be linked up to my blog post now. I have made my list and am ready for the first Challenge number to be posted!
Ok! I’ve made my committment for 2011 in public!!! I am so ready to get something done. Even if I don’t win any prizes, I am still a WINNER by finishing 12 of my UFO’s and who knows, maybe I will use them for gifts and I will be that much more ahead of the game!!
listed and linked my blog
just have to figure out how to put the link on my wordpress sidebar
at present it is just at the top of my linked post
Thanks for the challenge Judy! Can’t wait to get started.
Hope I got this Started a blog today 2011 I will try and keep track of the quilts I finish Glad you are doing this to inspore me
Oh, Judy, I’ve joined up! I am looking forward to getting some of these projects in a finished pile, since they are all for ME. I’ll be working on projects for others too, of course, but these UFOs are a selfish list
Thanks for having this challenge!
Yay! I’m so glad you are running this challenge, Judy! I have been reading your blog off and on for awhile, and wanting to blog about the quilting I’m doing (I have been mostly blogging about decorating), and your challenge inspired me to just do it! Yay! So I’m very excited to join in (at the last minute!)
Thanks again,
~Angela
I have linked Nancy in to the challenge. #146
Thanks, Judy.
I’ve signed up. I’m looking forward to getting some projects done this year!
I have so many UFOs. This is a great way to get us to finish some of them up. Thanks!
Looks like a big crowd…. there should be one or two things done this year!!!
Finally got my list and pictures together and on my blog! Can’t wait to see what number is picked for January.
I’ve added a link to a new PAGE on my blog for the challenge quilts. Now to get the page written up.
I’ve written up my UFO list and posted it on my blog. I’m new to Blogs, and have a lot to learn, but I think I’m doing things right. I even put the UFO Challenge button on my page. I’ll be adding photos in a few days. This sounds like an excellent way to get more projects done this year. I think it’s going to be great fun.
I’m in! I just started a blog so I could do this.
Please count me in! I have so many UFO’s. I stop counting at 15 … the growing numbers are making me nervous. Happy New Year!
I’m usually just a lurker but had to jump in on this one. This is going to be great fun and the best push I need to complete some of my UFO’s.
I made it under the wire. I’m going to start keeping my blog more regularly now. Wish me luck — Heck, I wish us all luck!!!
I’m in too! Thanks for hosting!
Judy, I am number 165! Can you check that I linked to Flickr correctly?!? THanks! I can hardly wait….
Looking forward to an interesting year and getting some UFO’s finished.
I have my list posted on the wall in my sewing room. Really looking forward to finishing some, if not ALL in 2011!!!
Such a great idea! Hopefully I’ve linked it all up correctly, and all my UFO’s will magically start being completed?! At least I don’t have to think about what I’m going to work on next! Thanks for hosting this!
I hope I can finish all 12 ufo’s in 2011!
Hope my name doesn’t appear more than once on the list. I have added it, then came back and couldn’t find it.
I hope that my link is correct. I am trying to do this without begging my daughter for help. She will probably faint if I am successful. Happy New Year and get sewing.
Just threw my hat in! Can you draw #4 first please?? LOL!
Should be able to get two things done with this challenge. Get the UFO’s completed and be better about posting to my blog. Thanks Judy.
Have my list posted on my blog. Only have 6 ufo’s, so each one has two number. Still trying to put the link on my blog, but with no success. Will keep trying.
Of course I am joining the group with only 30 minutes left before the New Year arrives. But then that’s how I do things. Maybe my last minute tendency is why there are so many UFO’s. Thanks for the inspiration to get some of these out of my pile, into the light of done and able to be enjoyed.
I don’t have a blog and I am with family for Christmas part 2, so I will have to start a flicker account after I am back home. I hope this is ok. I know I have at least 12 UFO’s with 3 of them being knitting UFO’s which I also hope is ok. I look forward to getting these completed.
Thanks Judy, I love your blog!
Judy #175 did not work correctly…please delete.
My husband and I are cleaning and preparing for a move to Wisconsin. I know it will be easier to convince him I need to take an item with me if it is finished. I am not very good at challenges, so I put a few items in that will need to be finished if I want to finish them or not. The rest are items that bother me every time I see them and wonder why I do not work on them.
I hope everyone finishes many items, but remember finishing any item is good.
Thank you for this challenge –I need it. It’s fun as well. I enjoy your blog.
I signed up back when there was just a few names listed, but for some reason my name was not on the list. LOL I”m very excited about particapating in this challenge, and am looking forward to a fun and creative New Year.
Judy I wanted to link up but the linky thingie is closed. Am I too late?
I’m looking forward to finishing some UFO’s. I’m new to blogging, so I hope I did this the right way.
Thanks Judy for opening this up for me. I’m in now.
I am wishing everyone Good Luck on all their projects, I know I am going to need it. May the best one use the most fabric from their stash!!! Off to the sewing room as soon as I get dinner done.
Count me in!!
I have two lists — one for quilt tops and another for tops that I want to finish with quilting and bidning. AMBITIOUS (translation? — dumb!?! LOL), but I think having some “accountability” will help me stay the course. Best Wishes to all who are tackling this!!
Blessings,
Mary Lou

Hi Judy -
I just finished making an album (similar to Sarah’s that you shared with us yesterday) of the twelve 2011 UFOs I want to finish this year.
I have provided the link to my UFO album above – I do not know how to change the main link that I posted on my original sign up, #53 Mostly Simple.
I am sorry for the bother . . . can you update the link on your end or should I just resign up for this endeavor?
Thanks,
Margo :0)
I have finally posted my UFO Challenge list along with a picture of my Project #6. It is half done! Yeah! I hope to stay on task and complete the whole list! (Yes, my glass is half full! LOL)
So excited about the prospect of taking some of the Us off the UFO’s this year. What a great challenge!
Just posted my link, yay for finishing UFO’s
Finally will make a dent in the UFO’s!!! All part of the “better organized” plan.
