How old is your oldest unfinished quilt?
 

I was scrounging around in one of those rarely visited places in my sewing room, and found a box that had a quilt top I had made back in 1989. I was so surprised as I thought I had no unfinished quilts. It made me wonder how many others have these buried "treasures" and just how old are they?

My first quilt top, from 1983, is still unassembled---a pile of blocks and strips, and a ton of extra fabric for it, because I thought I might make matching curtains, if you can believe that!. And it's going to stay that way. I HATE it now. Not even exactly sure where I stuffed it all....

Mine is my daughters wedding quilt, Im ashamed to say. It has 3700 pieces, I pieced it by hand and had the top done for her wedding shower. After the shower she gave it back to me to hand quilt. I have been working on it, on and off. Its about 2/3 of the way done and they just celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on Sept. 11th. Its queen size.

I'm also "one of those people" who haven't quilted my very first quilt. My first class and first quilt top was a log cabin that I made in 2000. Now that I have a long arm I think it should be my first real quilt to LA (after I get lots of practice).

20 years. I started it when I was 13. Lets just say I am not a hand piecer or quilter. It is almost fully tied as I would never have quilted it

None of my own, I have four tops done by my great grandmother that I have not had the courge to finish. I think they date in the 40's,

My pre bi centinneal about 1974. Made two blocks and still have the fabric. Does this count as an unfinished quilt.

I have several that are 19-20 years old. my youngest is 3 years. They have about 30 siblings in between.

About 30 years old. :(
I am not proud of myself.
