Yes, I have one that I started before my son was born, and it has not been finished yet, and my son is 43 now.

Gosh, such a great quilt and there's some handsome men enjoying it, I must say!

Well... I don't have any long term UFOs of my own yet, BUT... does it count if you have a whole 60 gal plastic tote of your mothers UFOs dating back to the 30's, 40's and 50's? I've got fabrics from her that still have the old Grant's Dept Store tag on them, complete with penciled in yardages and prices in the pennies/yard catagory! I've also got some embroidery, cross stitch, quilting kits on "brand new, amazing wonder fabric that will not wrinkle!" (aka a cotton/poly/pellon co. blend for the 'busy housewife of the 40's'.)
