My longest project was 21 years. Started piecing the top on the day Ronald Reagan was shot. Finished up the hand quilting during the 2002 Winter Olympics. I currently have one that I work on now and then. It's been in the process of being hand quilted since about 2002. The way things are going it could beat my old record. I've come to the realization that hand quilting isn't my thing. At least not large projects.
