Mine is from about 1986---my first quilt. I had taken a class and we were making a wall hanging (every stitch by hand) and I thought it was cute so decided to make a bed size (what did I know). I chose a teal color and next thing I knew (with the shop owner "help") it became a brown quilt with teal accents. I hate brown most of the time. Periodically I get it out and work on the hand applique part. Oh, and after I bought all the fabric, she informed me that the whole quilt would have to be made by hand because the machine stitching would stretch the blocks out to a bigger size.
