Oh, gosh. I started one for my DD when she went to college in 1977. Just took the top apart (never finished it) to remake for HER DD in college.
Have one for her sister, vintage calico in 1978. Log cabin - all cut out, just need to sew, sew, sew. Same thing, now for HER daughter going into college next year.
Don't worry...they are on my list :)
