QE--the airplane quilt was a surprise. My husband asked me to make it for him...he's one of my husband's closest friends.
Apples, apples, apples! Looks like everyone has apples to tend to. My MIL made a pie for me...yummy!
Mirabelle--you are moving right along on the blue star project! Keep it up.
I have used this runner pattern many times (similar to Honchey's):
