This
is something from the past to share with everyone. I really wanted to make a
quilt with appliquéd hearts and do some hand sewing. My oldest daughter was
going to have surgery and have her tonsils removed. I cut out the hearts and
the little squares and put together a sewing kit that I could have handy to work
on while she recovered. I chose pinks and mauve tones and added a little bit of
country blue which was a popular color at the time.
I hand quilted a
heart inside of each of the appliqué hearts and also a quarter inch around the
outside edge. For the border I laid a heart on its side and drew a row of
hearts to fit inside the border area. The finished quilt is baby size.
