I am trying to post a picture for the very first time following Steve's directions.This is Ebby my one year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel relaxing on my oldest UFO that I finished just lately. I started this quilt in 1970 to use up some scraps that were already beginning to accumulate from my high school sewing projects. I sewed a few blocks then and put all of them in an old shoe box. In 1977, I took my first quilting course at the local night school program and finished a few more blocks. Finally last winter, I got the box out once more and stitched up the remainder. I initially had thought about throwing all those bits out as I sew a lot more accurately now but when I looked at the fabrics, I just couldn't part with it. There were pieces from my 4-H blouse, my mom's aprons, family home porch curtains and little sister's Sunday School dress. Please post your oldest UFO's picture and tell us your story. (Thank you Steve, your directions worked!) |
Beautiful quilt & a very cute Doggie.

So many memories...I wouldn't have thrown them out either :) And what the heck with the accuracy, it shows that you were a beginner once and how far you've come since - an achievement!!! And your quilt turned out beautiful, I love it!!! Actually it gave me an idea for one of my next ones :) Thanks for sharing. Oh yes, and your fur-baby is so cute too!!!

nice quilt and quilt police

Very nice. I have a 30+ year old UFO I that I hope to take to the LAQ next week. Like you, I wasn't sure about it--I'm not crazy about it now, but it seems a shame not to honor that younger me by having it finished. Your experience has strengthened that idea--thanks.
