is it really a UFO if you are waiting for your learning curve to kick in before you finish it ? When i finsh the GFG this year there will have been five generations (eight people)that have worked on it. Yes, I have it all written down including the info. that was on the back of the blocks and will be covered by batting and backing.

Well let's see...I started a hand pieced "apple core" when my son was still in high school and he is 31 now. I'm close to getting it finished but don't know how to hand quilt so I may do that part on the machine.

It took me 10 years to finish my daughter's graduation quilt. I must have been dreaming when I began hand piecing and hand quilting a lone star for her, while I was working full time and going to college at night!
Sometimes months went by and I never touched it--too busy. Then a vacation would come and I would work on it a lot.
We do what we can. My thought is, if we hate the project, we should give it away or change it or throw it out. Life is too short.
If we like the project, we should finish it. It's not a race; it's a process. Just keep plugging away at it and bit by bit, it comes together. And it's a really good feeling.
