Gift Bag Swap Challenge –
sewed the orange borders back on, prepared the beehive, and worked on the flowers for the appliqued borders. .JPG)

Now I am trying to decide if I want the flowers on just two corners opposite each other, or should I do the applied flowers all around the outside of the quilt. What do you think?

This is my NOYB project. Above is the quilt I made for Jennie (2003) when she wnet to Brigham Young University. When she got married things good pretty crazy with the moving and everything else and some of her things were never to be seen again. This quilt was one of the things that went missing. So I (with Emily’s suggestion and encouragement) decided to remake this quilt for Jennie for her graduation. I wasn’t really good with my timing – she graduated in December and I am still working on the quilt. Even with just pieces in the box, Jennie was pretty touched when she opened the present at her graduation party.
I encountered some problems when working on the mountains but, finally finshed piecing them this week. I have some of the flower blocks appliqued. I will try and do a couple of them this coming week.
This is another one of my UFOs. All these stars are from an international swap I particiapted in a few years ago. This week I have been embroidering the name of the maker and where they are from. The quilt’s name will be called “Stars from All-over” or I just had a thought, maybe I should call it “Quilting Stars from All-over”. Have to give that some thought. Might be a fun play on words – the star comes from all over and also the person (Quilter) is a star and they are from all over. 
And I sewed 13 wheelchair bags this week.
