Sometimes the top didn't turn out as I expected and I don't like it; so it sits until I can decide what to do. And then I go on to work on something new, that I do like, especially piecing! And I forget about the ones that need some decisions. WIPs, on the other hand, mean the projects on the "front burner", things I have a sure purpose for or deadline, like quilt show entry or gift. That's just the view from my sewing room.....
