    My mother and her sister passed a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt back and forth for over 35 years. My mother finished it when she retired and gave it to me. It's a beautiful quilt.

    A project from a class entitled "Crumb quilting". Am working on that one now. Have recently retired and have time and desire to finish UFO's. Don't remember what year it was from but has to be at least 20 years ago.

    My oldest UFO is from 1993 when this book was first published. (That's 18 years.) As you can see, I didn't get very far on it. The name of the book is "Quick and Easy Quiltmaking." NOT!!

    I have one that might be 25 years old or more - but not because it is one I made - i bought up a few qult tops that had been started, never finshed, or put into quilt form - so I'd say I have about 6 UFO's for that very reason... these were way too cheap to let lay - so bought them even though I love to make my own - did not need these- just liked them!

    I bought an Osage Star kit in Branson maybe in '95, but when I got it home no instructions and haven't been able to find any. It just came with a diagram that I need to figure out. Also about that time I started on a DWR but put it aside when my DH left me. So, maybe 16 years old.
