40 years

My mom had begged her mom to let her get this applique quilt top when she was 17. She promised she would finish it, but alas as most childhood promises go she didn't ever complete it. She has carried it around for 40 years. She gave it to me to see if I wanted another project to do. So we ofcourse had to find some sort of retro print for the backing and I also made the binding out of it as well. I don't particularly like this many appliques, but after weeks on the to do list. I have completed it for her. Here's how it ended up.
