I haven't counted my UFO's ..I am afraid to . I do know the oldest one a Dresden Plate was started by my grandmother in the 30's (pieces cut, and handsewn) found it's way to my mother when my grandmother could no longer do hand work.Mother worked on it (plates appliqued to muslin squares) as a widowed mom working and rearing 3 youngsters. Then on to me when she moved to an assisted living unit. I have done the blanket stitch around the plates, just need to set it together and quilt it. Total years in the making..about 70 to date. I hope my daughter will help a bit making it a 4 generation event. In addition to age it has quite a travel history, started in (Grandmother)N.C. on to (Mother)in Maryland and now in Missouri with me.
