I brought 3 "old" projects to my quilt guild. There were from my mom, who got them from my grandma, maybe her great grandma, and maybe a great aunt. Nobody knew for sure. Anyway, they were hand pieced, still had the cardboard templates with them cut from old cereal boxes. I had kept them for quite a while. Finally figured out that I would never do them and did not have anyone who would want them even if a managed to get them done. Seemed like not a good idea to just toss them. So off they went. I had no problems at the quilt guild. There was someone who wanted each one.
