40 years. I had no idea what I was doing. Thought it was beautiful. Black and pink fan quilt. I put it away while looking for the perfect backing. Wanted black fabric with little pink roses. Found it a couple of years ago, bought enough for the back. Finally ran across the top again.......what was I thinking! Much prettier in my mind than in "person." I doubt that I'll ever finish it unless I put a plain black backing on it. Saving the black with pink roses for another project. Example of how our tastes change over the years. Actually, for my first quilt, didn't do too bad a job....but pink lace......really.
