I finished this UFO today....about 10 years after I started it! I took a class about 10 years at the Utah Quilt Fest, held that year in Park City.....it was so long ago, I THINK it was 10 years ago. I took a class to learn needle turn applique and this is the result. I also took a class on 3-D flowers, which I added to a appliqued basket block that now hangs in my livingroom. The third class was a technique class to learn different ways to do curved piecing and applique. The teacher provided a bird pattern to practise your favorite curved technique. I enjoyed the class, but never did do a bird wallhanging or quilt.Park City Fest was the only time I stayed in a hotel to attend the annual Utah Quilt Fest. Usually I just drive back and forth (or just not attend). This year, the Fest is being held in Ogden Utah at the Eccles Center, which is about a 20 minute drive from me. I will definitely be there for the quilt til' you wilt Friday night/all night sew-in, plus I usually help with the donated orphan block class....last year I won one of the orphan block quilts (donated it to QOV). I am also excited that Jane Sassaman(I'm sure that is not spelled correctly!) is coming to teach...I love her art quilts with all the circles and embellishments!
On to the next UFO......and I have SO many to choose from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You sound like me. I've got tons of UFOs! I even have quilts I started when my kids were babies. One is about 24 years old now. Maybe they'll be grandkid quilts...if I ever get any grandkids!
Congrats of finishing your UFO!
that is very nice I LIKE IT,,,, hey is your name in the drawing?
Congratulations on finishing that UFO! It feels real good to finish one that old, doesn't it? Which one did you decide to work on next?
We must have taken the same classes in 1997. I don't think I've finished my tree applique or used my ruched flowers yet so congrats on finishing yours.
I did finish my delicate arch from that year.
