    I have one UFO that is probably close to 20 years old, and two or three that are a couple of years old.

    I've been quilting for four years and I have one that's three years old. So it's 75% of my quilting life.

    Ya'll have me beat by a country mile. My oldest was 15 and I finished it last year. It was a Dresden Plate, hand appliqued.

    I have so many I don't remember when they were started. I am in the process of working on them one at a time now.

    i made a mystery quilt about 5 years ago. got the top done, but didn't like it so it hangs in my sewing room as is. i will probably never finish it and i'm okay with that.

    My Dear Jane - Jane's Journey - was begun in 1997. I am hand quilting her - or I will get back to her when this "temperature tantrum" weather moves to some other continent. Summer came here back in March, so I set her aside then. It WILL cool down eventually! I guess that makes this UFO 14 years old.

    I inherited my grandmother's UFO an it was from the 50s. I am finishing the emboidery now and will get it quilted this year. I have moved about 20 times in my life and each time it came with me, so mine would be about 40 years old too.

    My oldest quilt UFO is 25 years. I have some completed embroidery and cross stitch that are just slightly younger that are done but not yet blocked and framed. I've only recently come back to the quilt and I know I'll have it finished within the next 12 months but until I decide that we have enough disposable income to finish up the others they will continue in storage ;-)
