Last year about this time, my brother was SUPPOSED to announce his retirement and I was busy making him a retirement quilt. He postponed the retirement for another year and the quilt was put in the UFO basket. I was having some trouble with it and I needed a break so it worked out well. NOW he is preparing to really retire and I got the quilt out again. I fixed the problem and am ready to attach the border. I used
Delectable Mountain and
Log Cabin blocks because the quilt is for his mountain cabin. I also used different duck fabrics because his cabin is called the Duck Inn. I want to get it ready to quilt in the next week or so. He is planning on retiring on June 30th and I hope to see him before then.
