It's time to pull out the next UFO to work on. The list is too long, but several of them have been so close to being done that I need to buckle down and just do it. I've been trying to get more UFOs at least to the flimsy stage this year.
There is now a finishing plan for this one - the batik Hunter's Star. Originally I had planned to make more blocks to make it bigger. But since I tracked down more of that black print used in all of the stars, I'm thinking simple borders. There will be a few orphan blocks to deal with, but that's better than a whole unfinished quilt. Maybe the extras can become a pillow.
This is probably the last project on the UFO list that could be an "easy" finish. I did take 2 UFOs to be quilted this month, so when they come back they'll be ready to trim and bind. But there are a couple of UFOs on that list that are barely started. Those will require a LOT more effort to be able to finally check them off the list.
Another project that needed to be tackled is cleaning out and organizing the big dresser in my sewing room. I began with the top drawer yesterday, mainly because I was looking for something I thought was buried in there. What a mess of random stuff! I did find what I was looking for. But I also threw away some random old craft supplies such as dried up bottles of glue. The remaining craft supplies and zippers are all organized in baskets, as are the odds and ends of orphan blocks and fabrics.
There are 3 more big drawers in this dresser to organize, along with clutter on top of it. Maybe I will dig into the second drawer today.

Good luck on your UFOs! I got one to the flimsy stage yesterday. I hope I can get one quilted during March too, but first I'm doing the RSC to get the yellow out of the way.
Sounds like you've got a plan for the immediate future on getting some UFOs off the list. I'm hoping to do the same over the next month now that the SAHRR is coming to an end.
