    My friend is retiring in May after teaching 7th grade for 30 years, so I made her a quilt to cuddle with on the couch while she catches up on her soap operas. I hope she will like it and enjoy it for many years! I made too many blocks and didn't want it as large as it would have been, so I used that row on the back!

    Back of quilt with "extra" row not really this bright!

    It looks great! I'll bet she loves it! And thanks to her for surviving 30 years of teaching 7th grade! :thumbup:
