I present my newest favorite quilt,
<3 You
This quilt was inspired by one I saw on a date with my hubby.
There were antique quilts hanging in the Depot Theater Company that night
and I fell in love with this one.
So this is my version.
84 inches of heart goodness.
I traced hearts onto HeatNBond Lite-all 76 of them. <3
Next I bonded them to the 12 1/2" background blocks and stitched the top edges of the hearts to form my blocks.
The quilting is dragonflies (to wrap in lightness and joy)
done with the help of the Handi Quilter Pro-Stitcher, shown here from the back of the quilt.
I made the scallop edges of the quilt with a very technical method... lol
I cut a piece of stencil plastic 12", folded it, and cut a curve in it for my pattern.
The binding had to be bias cut and I found another reason for my OttLight,
it's perfect for draping the continuous bias binding tube while it's being cut.
A label and there is a lot of love in this quilt.
I'll be keeping this one for my bedroom makeover to drape over the end of the bed.
Now hop on over to see the other blog posts for the day.
