A Realistic Time Frame

So, you wanna know what I used all that bias tape for?  Oh.  Well, I'm going to tell you anyway - I finally finished a quilt for my Mum's birthday and it only took me 15 years to do it.

Yes, 15 YEARS.

You see, I have this idea for another quilt and I had to have a little chat with myself about the one or two (and the rest) unfinished projects that are taking up space in the loft.  This was one such project, so a bit of a concerted effort and it's done. 

The main reason for the ridiculous time frame for this one was because it was completely hand quilted.  I mean, honestly, who does that?  I think the batting was too thick and the whole machine quilting process just seemed to go very badly wrong so I went old school on it.  Which looks great, but I shan't be doing that again in a hurry. 

Hope she likes it!
