It's not finished yet but it is well on the way. Our guild challenge was to finish your oldest UFO or PIG. Mine was a shoebox full of cut pieces and a couple of completed shoefly blocks which I had intended to be my first quilt to use up all of my scraps from dresses, blouses etc that I had stitched for my sister and myself as a teenager. I hadn't even opened that box since 1976 and was just going to toss it all in the trash. Once I really looked at it, I just couldn't as it represented so much from my growing up. I could see our 4-H shirts, kitchen curtains, Centennial dress and so much more. Last winter, I sewed all the blocks and have enough to make two large lap/single quilts. I plan to sash, border, quilt and bind them this winter and give one to my sister and keep the other for me. They won't be my most beautiful quilts but they will be full of memories and a little reminder of home.
