I have pieces starting in 1977 from baby clothes made for my daughters. They are going into the wedding ring quilt that has been in the making for 8 years for my youngest daughter that got married in 2004. The rest are going into a courthouse steps quilt for my oldest daughter that got married in 2011 in Washington Courthouse, OH. I thought the pattern was appropriate. It alternates with signature blocks from the guests at the wedding. She is going to have to wait until the wedding ring quilt is finished until I get to hers. I hope it won't take another 8 years. Over 50% of the fabrics in these two quilts are from fabric that I have used in various projects from the past 30+ years.
