Your family wants those memories of you!
Over the last year I have been finishing your great-grandmothers and grand mothers unfinished projects. Most are from 1930' so I've seen real 30's prints. Some are solid fabrics from the 70's. I have done 5 so far and have had a wonderful time but I feel kind of sad because I have to incorporate new fabrics with them and machine sew some that the blocks are hand pieced. These people only want them done so they can hang or use.
I have a pic of one of three made from 300, 6" hand pieced blocks that the great-grand sisters of great grand-mother made. It was a booger because she paper pieced them on thick paper bags. What an incredible chore to get this paper off without tearing away the hand sewing. Had to score the paper with xacto knife first, and still left behind a thin strip of paper. Also they were not all completely square! These are from the 30's. The next pic is from the 70's.
PLEASE FINISH YOUR UFO'S. Yeah , I'm making money but they are not totally from you!
