I have not finished anything lately. That is the point when I count stash as busted. When do you count it? I am wondering if I should change my accounting practice....

I count mine as busted as soon as I pull it and cut it for a project. At that point it cannot be returned to the stash so in essence it is "busted"
I count mine when it's completely done. that way it doesn't lay around waiting for binding or anything. I would do that, I know! And I cut lots of projects OUT and they may sit for another year or so. Sometimes a cut project becomes something else entirely!
I'm with Lori. I need the incentive to push for the finish, so I don't count it out until I'm ALL done!
I count mine as it's cut. Sometimes I have large pieces and I've cut part off...the part I've cut gets counted and the rest is still stash. If I use up the whole piece, of course it all gets counted.
If I waited till something was finished, I'd still be at 0. LOL.
hope the job pans out....
I'm a little flexible with when i count it-if i am woriking on an old ufo and i finish it, then i get to count the whole thing because i was not keeping count before 2008. If its a ufo started in 2008, then only backs and bindings count because i already counted the top when i made it in 2008. If its a new top then i count like Beth-as soon as its cut it counts!
I'm with Beth and Babs. I count it the moment I cut it from stash. I don't count anything that I started before all this counting, but just what I cut. I basically don't cut something unless I'm going to use it rather soon. But that doesn't mean that I'll have it completely finished. I'm afraid if I don't count it until it's done, I'll forget what I included in the count or not. I guess I feel if I've pulled it from stash...it's no longer 'stash'. It's interesting how differently we all think about it. But I keep track mostly for my own account, and that's what works for me! whew--was that a bit long winded, or what? LOL
I wouldn't count the stash as busted until it's finished. But you COULD have an intermediate count of what has been cut before it's finished. That might be a good thing to make you feel you are still moving ahead. Then as it is finished, the middle count would go down, and the busted count would go up!
I count mine when I sew it. It could have been cut that day, or last year, but I don't count it till it's sewn.
