Jean Jones'
airplane quilt

The pattern is a paper pieced airplane block 6" square, set on point. Members of seven southern New Mexico P.E.O. chapters made and signed blocks for over 250 of their members. The blocks were assembled and quilted by Betty Reynolds. The quilt was presented to Jean on the opening night of the New Mexico state P.E.O. convention, May 18, 2000, in Las Cruces
