Love the quilting! I did a TATW as my first quilt. Took a quilt in a day class....oh back in the mid-90's. Got all but the borders done before I left the class that day! I'm embarassed to say how long it laid aside, however, my children were young then and I didn't have much time to sew, but when I did, I was usually making kids pajamas. Then, had other interests that used my time for many years. Pulled it back out last year. Finished it up and gifted to a friend that lives in a log cabin.
