Do you like math word problems?
I have one for you.
At the beginning of 2012 I had 78 works in progress to finish.
I started 7 new works in 2012.
I finished 16 WIPs in 2012. 16 is a significant number.
14 of those were finished after June 20, 2012.
How many works in progress does Kay still have to finish?
Answer at end of post!
You said 69 – right? WRONG
I have 53 works in progress to finish.
What I didn’t tell you is I moved 16 to the lists I don’t have to count:
1. Not real important
2. Questionable to finish
3. Rework or abandon
I do not have to count anything on these lists.
I can finish them if the spirit moves me, but the spirit is moving me to finish the 53 top priorities on my lists at this time!

LOL, I love your additional lists..........oops....I think I have a couple of those too!
Not fair! But I like that last list.
LOL....you really fooled me. I had subtracted a couple of times before I scanned down to your answer. I like your idea about "not important"
Great post!!
Ha, I was going to say there was a bit of info missing like you donated some tops or a friend gave you 20 to finish, hahah. I quilt counting but I have one bin dedicated to completed tops. I plan to get them all done this winter but then I started 4 more quilts....:)
Great piece! -- I did not calculate. I took an oath to be finished with mathematics for the rest of my life.
53 is so much more doable than 69 :) Love the piece you posted, just beautiful. Like others I stopped counting. As long as all my fabric and things fit in my sewing room, it's all good :)
It is good to unload baggage and that is what a lot of unfinished quilts are. there was a reason for not working on them.

You're so silly...was lots of fun to read though. Sandi
I love how you do math! That's my kind of adding!
LOL - like I tell my students - math is everywhere. I'm all for either throwing out, repurposing, giving away or even selling on ebay unfinished projects that you're never - ever going to do. VERY freeing! Congrats on your finishes!
Quilter Kathy calls it your kind of adding.... when actually you subtracted 16. Now if I was five years old I would say "YOU cheated"!.
