    Default Retirement quilt for a coworker

    Sorry, I don't know the name of this pattern. I think Woody (a member here) posted a pic of this design several years ago. I liked her quilt and quickly sketched out the block and setting and tucked it away for a time I needed to make a quick and easy quilt. My coworker is retiring Jan 5 (so jealous!!). She has been with the organization for 45 years! Practically unheard of these days. Anyway I picked the Asian focus fabric and all the others from stash and whipped this up in record time.

    Techy stuff:
    The quilting is a panto called Clematis
    Batting is Hobbs Polydown
    Thread is King Tut color Thebes in the top, magna glide prewound in the bobbin in white.

    The whole quilt

    And I did the faux flange machine binding. Love that method.

    I like your quilt. It's elegant and understated with a lot of interest using only 3 colors. If I may ask, what size did you make your blocks. I am a fan of big block quilts. They go together so much quicker than a lot of others.
