    I have one I rescued from my mother's house, that we all worked on as teenagers in the late 1960's. It is now on my finish it soon shelf.

    A little over 1 year. I joined a guild in August, 2009. First project was started a couple of months later. It still needs a border.

    I have one 15 year old UFO, queen size Delectable Mountain, that is quilted and ready to go except for the binding. I decided it needed prairie points! The colors of my bedroom changed and it's just too nice to give away, so it hangs over the banister near stairs, folded so you can't see the edge. Looks great....someday I'll finish it. On the bright side it's being kept in near new condition.

    Might be the full size/ queen size Dresden Plate top I made while I lived in FL.
    Pieces of fabric from everyone that was in my first quilt class. Lets see I moved to GA in 88 so it was a year or two before that. It has the quilting design marked on it in pencil. I know those are never going to come out. This one will be machine quilted.
    When I get around to it.

    I have WIP (work in progress) that is 5-6 years ago and some UFOs are probably close to 4-5 yrs old.

    I've been in my house 10 years, and didn't bring any with me, but started one that year, that probably will never be done, was going to hand embroider around Rudolph and friends. Since its started, its hard to undo and just put it together cuz the little holes I'm afraid will stay on the pieces I started. So, there it sits.

    About 15 years old. It is a dimensional bow tie quilt top that I made from an episode of Simply Quilts.

    how old is your oldest UFO?
    Mine is about 20 years old. Its a hand pieced quilt (3700 pieces)
    I had the top pieced for my daughters wedding shower, then got it back to hand quilt it. Which Im still doing, told her maybe for 25th wedding anniversary
