I had one like that for my sister. My Mom had made it over 30 years ago but never quilted it. I took it and when I put in on the frame, realized how bad it was. I took off the borders and fixed them, and had to fix the middle a bit.
I also assume my Mom had intended to fix it, but it got put away and Mom moved on to other things (she started crocheting afghans and gave up making quilts) and never got back to it. Like most of us, I'm sure my Mom would be very happy to have her UFO's finally completed and put into use.
