What's the longest it's taken you to complete a quilt?

Queen size GFG....bought the hex templates in the early 80's (quilting was "calling" me then). Dug them out after an eventful decade or so...started sometime in early 2000's almost finished the "flowers" and ready to do the joining "stars". Is all EPP and I will be handquilting....it's been a long road, with many "rests" along the way...but it will get done. Have been many quilts completed before this one, so I don't feel too badly about my lack of speed

But this doesn't answer your question which is about a quilt that is worked on periodically and not abandoned to the back of the closet.
I have one that have been working on now for about a year and do pick it up occasionally to make a few new blocks.

30 years, wall hanging, a sampler of : card tricks, honey bee nine patch, applique and dresden plate. My perfect stitching no longer matches. The facric stretched while stored in the extra large hoop. Didn't quilt the borders. Sad but hanging in my TV room..colors are back in style. Don't wait too long to finish your project !
