What is the oldest UFO you've ever finished?
#21
We moved my mother in law into an assisted living facility a few months ago. While cleaning out her house, she came across a quilt top that was pieced by her grandmother. My mother in law is 84 so I can only imagine how old the quilt top would be. I keep staring at it trying to decide what to do. MyLQS examined it and decided it can be machine quilted. I am thinking of doing it ang giving it back to my MIL for Christmas. I am VERY nervous about it but if it won't hold up to the quilting process, it won't hold up to much else either. Seems to be in great condition......

YEA! I finally finished my oldest UFO- it's been living in a box for 10 years...it was a BOM- which i loved when i started it- and actually did get all 12 blocks made-started sashings, and settings-- but for a number of reasons i never got it put together---until yesturday- i would take it out and look at it- earlier this year i almost sent it away a number of times- but could not really part with it- i finally decided---this has to be finished- or given away---and i finished it...i will take pics later- just so happy to finally mark it off my list!
and although it is quite (flowery) my hubby even said---"that's a nice one" i didn't expect him to like it at all. i of course still have to quilt and bind it-but at least it has moved from the sewing room to the quilting room...now maybe im on a roll- and can empty a couple other boxes sitting in there...

I have 2 king sized quilt tops I made in the 80's for a big waterbed that I no longer have.Someday I may quilt them but the choices in fabric back then were so boring.
