My Sister's Hearts ... twice

This is my sister's quilt. She used up all of her plaids, i think.  she wanted it quilted with hearts so it could be the companion piece to her last quilt that i put hearts on. it is about 82" square. That border is really stretchy and might need to be trimmed up some. flannel plaids seem to stretch a lot.

It went pretty quickly...5 hours. I stitched across the bottom of the block...inserted the heart....went up and back down the seam between the blocks....and continued across the row. I did the borders as i came to the end of the row. kept on going back and forth until i ran out of bobbin thread. took 9 bobbins.

I quilted a little surprise in there for her....i'll see how long it takes her to find it. haha

Border was large meander with some hearts thrown in.
