WIP (Work in Progress)
Any quilt project that is actively being worked on.
WIP stands for Work in Progress — a project that is currently being actively worked on, as opposed to a UFO (which has been set aside). The distinction is informal: a WIP is what you're working on now; a UFO is what you started and haven't gotten back to yet. Quilters often share WIP photos on social media with hashtags like #wip or #wipwednesday. Managing multiple WIPs — deciding which project deserves your current attention — is a universal quilter struggle.
