I used the Stars panto of Dave Hudson, which matched perfectly with the planes flying through the air.
Elaine made this embroidery quilt for her husband, who is a veteran. The quilt shows all the places he went to. To make sure the embroidery blocks stayed the focus of the quilt, I used a stipple quilting.
