thank you. I did quilt each block as I went. I quilted a churn dash outline for the inner puss in the corner and in the ditch for the outer puss in the corner and then a square 1 1/2" from the seam line of the outer puss-in-corner.

Thanks. Actually, we won't be having any retirements in the near future. Our company has only about 1 1/2 dozen employees (at our location - our corporate HQ is a couple of states away. We were brought out a few years ago). I'm now #3 on the totem pole in terms of longevity. No one else is nearing retirement age.

The shirts came from Goodwill. I was on a Bonnie Hunter kick and purchased several just before starting the quilt. So it made perfect sense to use them in it.

Very nice quilt for your boss. I would like to try QAYG sometime. I think yours turned out very well. :-)

Really great quilt! I like quilts made from shirts and I made one for my son that he loved. I'm sure your boss is really going to appreciate this quilt.
