My oldest UFO is older than me!

My great-grandfather used to make quilt tops (hundreds!) that he would send to the "church ladies" and they would quilt them to donate. Someone thought to set some aside for each of his great-grandchildren before he passed away (and before they all disappeared) and I'm very thankful they did. He likely pieced it in the 50s or 60s, and I hope to hand quilt it this year. I've only been quilting for just over a year, but this top has always been the reason I wanted to learn.

My grampa also used to make quilt blocks and tops, and I really wish I had one from him, as he was the grandparent I was always closest to.

As for one that is "all mine", I have one top ready to quilt that I made a few months ago, one top for my parent's (almost king size) that I pieced this summer, and one hand quilting project on my lap frame I've been working on for several months. I don't know if they count until they are a year old :P
