Hearts

The final quilt for 2017!  woohoo!!   wish i could say that was the final top in the to-be-quilted cabinet....haha....maybe some day....if i live long enough.

These are applique machine embroidered hearts. It is 46x57". I believe they are designs that I got online because I don't find a CD for them..and they were done in March 2015, so I have no memory of where they came from.

I had some of the pink dot fabric with the top for the binding, but it was about 6" short...so i had some of the purple dot left and used that. But there is now only scraps of the pink and purple fabric. And I think that stripe background on the hearts is all gone, too. Progress!!

I did a large meander in the border, with a few hearts thrown in here and there. A large wiggly line in the sashings, and SID around the heart, and inside whatever was in the heart, and quilted every 3rd line in the background fabric. Oh, and an X in the cornerstones. I traveled across the row, then back the other way on the next row. .. kept going till i ran out of thread.

I like the ones that have the needle and thread and the patch.

But there is a cute bear, too.

And a kitty. I'm pretty sure that background fabric is now all used up, since i pieced it together in this kitty block.

And a dark purple sparkly velvet heart. Don't know if you can see the sparkles.

Backing came from stash...and I'm happy to say there is nothing but a couple scraps of this fabric left.
