You finished those other two borders quickly and it all looks beautiful put together. Glad you put on the brakes with the other fabric. You're right, "what we're you thinking!" Although, it did have red and green in it and 20+ years ago you probably thought it was perfect. :0)Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492645548495218076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149467485932327550.post-8336289051032615862016-09-07T17:28:31.754-04:002016-09-07T17:28:31.754-04:00Beautiful! any project that I started in 1994 woul...Beautiful! any project that I started in 1994 would not be to my taste now ..but this one is very much so !

A 1994 top is surely in the running for the oldest UFO. I have a few from the mid to late 80's, but I know they will never become "FO's" so they don't count. I have given a lot to my guild's auction each year, but why can't we part with some things we know we will never finish? I guess that is why we see so many unfinished tops and blocks in antique stores! Good for you for resurrecting this treasure!
