    Approximately 25 years ago I made a travel tote for quilt supplies. Last night I finally finished it. Believe it or not all it needed was one and a half snaps sewn on. Do I get the World's laziest award?

    Carol,

    You know that we can't award a medal to you until we see the finished product. How do we know that you are really finished? After all, you've only had 25 years to do it. :) :-) :P :-P

    Right - pictures please? I am sure I could find one in a box just as silly.

    Don't you feel better?

    Done that myself-took a class at my son's school taught by the headmistress about 18 years ago.(this was in Vanuatu)and picked out the UGLIEST fabrics! Still to this day, I don't know what possessed me (pink and black!). It was a queen size as well! Anyway, finished piecing the top and basted it-and then it's ugliness hit me right between the eyes! I put it in a cupboard and forgot about it for 10 years-and never thought about it again. When cleaning out that cupboard I found it and that's when the real quilt bug bit me! I decided to get out my (by now) rusty hand quilting needles and thread (mouldy by then) and see if I really wanted to start again. I actually finished hand quilting that UGLY quilt (no, it never got any better looking!) and decided this was what I NEEDED to do with the rest of my life! My son loved it (he was only about 12 or so) and used it to death (although I made him hide it whenever anyone came over!) Since, I have never looked back! I also in the process, have PROOVED that there is really something known as an UGLY quilt!

    Tried using my phone to take a picture but its not going to my computer - problem with downloads. When I finish the rest of my UFO's maybe I'll have time to fix the computer. LOL
