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!
