Sprout Moves To Hawaii

I avoided making this quilt for some time.  My dear dear OG Sprout had resigned and was moving to her retirement home in Hawaii.  I gathered scraps from quilts Sprout and I had made together, and hand-me-downs from her scrap bags (she was downsizing to move!) and started putting these scraps into blocks. I wanted plenty of light space so all our friends could sign this rememberance quilt.

It was a wild, well attended party.  Needless to say, the retirement lasted only a few months.  The house is still in Hawaii, and retirement is again on the horizon, but Sprout moved back and got her job back and has begun asking me if she will get another retirement quilt!
