    This is a quilt I quilted for my SIL, she is a Kindergarten teacher and she wanted to make a quilt for her retiring Para. She brought me a white panel with her students hand prints on it and some border fabric. I added the borders and quilted it on my longarm, here is the finished project. I also added the embroidered stars as a surprise.
