I made my first bed quilt in 2000. It was made with fabric from LQS. My daughter ended up with it in her college apartment then threw it in her trunk when she moved. It is pretty ratty. I think will cut off the last border and rebind it. I have a quilt that my mother-in-law made about 1980. I couldn't find it for awhile then discovered it in a wad tucked in boat stuff. Apparently our boys took it out in the sailboat and left it there. It is thin and worn with a couple of little holes.
