Thread: World's Oldest & Stupidest UFO - Finally Finished

Approximately 25 years ago I made a travel tote for quilt supplies. Last night I finally finished it. Believe it or not all it needed was one and a half snaps sewn on. Do I get the World's laziest award?

There are some projects that you just have to be in the mood to finish!:)

That is so true !

Carol,

You know that we can't award a medal to you until we see the finished product. How do we know that you are really finished? After all, you've only had 25 years to do it. :) :-) :P :-P

Right - pictures please? I am sure I could find one in a box just as silly.

Don't you feel better?

no award til we see a pic,lol

Done that myself-took a class at my son's school taught by the headmistress about 18 years ago.(this was in Vanuatu)and picked out the UGLIEST fabrics! Still to this day, I don't know what possessed me (pink and black!). It was a queen size as well! Anyway, finished piecing the top and basted it-and then it's ugliness hit me right between the eyes! I put it in a cupboard and forgot about it for 10 years-and never thought about it again. When cleaning out that cupboard I found it and that's when the real quilt bug bit me! I decided to get out my (by now) rusty hand quilting needles and thread (mouldy by then) and see if I really wanted to start again. I actually finished hand quilting that UGLY quilt (no, it never got any better looking!) and decided this was what I NEEDED to do with the rest of my life! My son loved it (he was only about 12 or so) and used it to death (although I made him hide it whenever anyone came over!) Since, I have never looked back! I also in the process, have PROOVED that there is really something known as an UGLY quilt!

Tried using my phone to take a picture but its not going to my computer - problem with downloads. When I finish the rest of my UFO's maybe I'll have time to fix the computer. LOL

just snaps after 25 years....thats awesome!...lol

well, That must have been your happy day! Don't you wish All your ufo's could be such a Snap to finish? (I sure wish Mine were... ) :-)
