I have another friend retiring at the end of May after 39 years of teaching in junior high and high school. Her son is in the navy and she likes red, white, and blue. When choosing those colors for her quilt, I really didn't want it to be something she would only use for the 4th of July so I picked muted tones from Connecting Threads "Patriotic" collection. Hopefully she will enjoy cuddling with it while she watches her favorite team, the Oregon Ducks, play football this fall. The pattern is called Garden Steps.

Nice quilt though I think you missed the Quilt Inspector's pic! :)

Thanks, needed to edit. You are fast!

This is beautiful and I like the chose of your red, white and blues.

So pretty, and the quilt inspector, also. Beautiful quilt, she will love it.

Beautiful quilt. Your friend will feel loved everytime she uses it!

Very soft and pretty patriotic colors and cute little inspector. Nice job. Your Friend will really cherish this.

The quilt inspector is spot on! They will love it!

I like the muted red, white & blue! Very pretty; your friend is sure to like it.

Kittens & Quilts... just seem perfect together don't they!
