Sandy from Quilting For the Rest of Us... quiltingfortherestofus ... asked the question to define for ourselves what a UFO is ... 
Since I have never seen an alien landing even though we are huge Dr. Who and Star Trek fans I know she is talking about my other love - quilting.
For me this is a hard question because I define it as
1. an unfinished object. An project that I have started and not completed. This means I have actually started it by cutting it out and sewing it.
Recently I got rid of a bunch of projects that I no longer was interested in. I donated them to my guilds cuddle quilt project.
So this cuts down my UFO's
But now that I do art quilting I have a lot more UFO's.
There are the projects that I have started on but stalled on. No deadline so no finish.
I also have the never ending projects. That are my Dear Jane quilt
and my hexagon hand sewing quilts.
There are also the quilt tops I have finished but haven't quilted yet because up until now I have been a hand quilter and progress is slow.
Since I sew other projects they move into a UFO category as well because they are not finished.
I also have UFO classes that I have started on line mostly with Craftsy. I plan to finish them.. when I have time.
I do get things down but it is hard to focus at times.
So I guess my definition of UFO is still an unfinished object. But I would have to have categories
Forever Projects
Craft Projects
Quilting Projects
Fibre Art Projects
Class Projects.
It time I became a finisher instead of an alien with a UFO to do list!
