Mine is 9 years old - actually the very first quilt I attempted. I've since used a couple of the blocks to make a tote bag, and given the rest away to a friend (who loved the color scheme). So, since it is no longer in my sewing room, I guess it's not technically a UFO any longer :-)

I am ashamed to say, my oldest UFO is almost 23 years old. A quilt I started when my son was a baby, finished the top, sandwhiched it, started hand quilting it, and that's where it stopped. Now, we don't use bed sheets for the backing anymore, like I was taught 20 years ago. So, I am in the process of ripping it apart to have it quilted by my friend with a long arm!!!! Might have to give it to my son after all this, lol!
