i started my first two quilts when my kids were 7 and 12. each quilt is about 95 x 95. i finished them this year. the 'kids' are 40 and 45. in the meantime, i started and stopped a lot of quilts and finished a number, but i don't know anyone who took 33 years to finish two quilts. someday, whoever reads the label on the back will think there's some mistake in the dating. it makes me and my children laugh about it now that they are finally done. but it was worth it. they both love them.
