Retiring into an afghan

Ages ago, I fell in love with this afghan pattern -- a series of concentric tipping squares.

When I first tried the pattern something simply did not, would not, could not penetrate my skull about how it was supposed to be done. I ripped out my attempts and set it aside.

I pulled it back into the light this month with the retirement of a long-time friend. Life-cycle moments like births, new homes and retirements call for gifts made by hand.
