Did you sign and NDA/non-compete? Your boss may try to lay claim to your already completed work. Many companies own any related work that you've done, even if it's not on working hours.
This is why I've always just kept it hidden. Mostly because I hate working for other people. All my side projects were built with the intention of quitting. I finally quit last year, so it's not a problem for me anymore.
Since none of it was ever related to my workplace, I didn't think it would ever be a problem (the code base was also usually so different, they couldn't accuse me of sharing code).
