A visit to one my daughter's over the weekend, took me back some years when I was shocked she got out some "early" days things that either she started when she wanted to sew as a child , and which I helped finished. Just by looking at the fabrics one can tell how quickly fabric styles change.
This was a cushion she made when she was young and very keen to learn how to stitch.
Looking back it would have to be at least 13 years back now.
A bit of Debbie Mum fabric there I see - loved
this when it first came out.

this when it first came out.
Then a few years later she decided she wanted to make a quilt.
Starting was very productive, then it took a few years for her to get back to it, but it doesnt matter,
it was finished in the end and I helped her put it together back in 2007 and quilt to have it finished.
Gee back then, we didnt even have a digital camera, so I actually forgot about this one
and could believe it when I saw it tucked up under her coffee table - she has had it stashed somewhere all this time.
Then there was "leaving home" quilt - even this was only 6 years ago, but wow havent the styles changed now compared to the "Country style" back then!!!!
Again - so worth doing a label, as it brings so much joy looking at down the track - it was funny , I didnt remember either of these two quilts until they fronted, then the first thing I did was flip them to read the label!!!!
