Really almost too sweet. The gritty kind of sweet you feel in your teeth after you've eaten an iced, heart-shaped sugar cookie or two. But don't some of us occasionally over-indulge on Valentine's Day?
This little quilt is still in progress. I started stitching the hearts in January when I had nothing to do. I'm deciding on the outer border -- even or uneven. The quilt to the edge of the first striped border measures 13¾" x 18¾". Long and narrow. I thought a wide border on the sides might even it out a bit but maybe it needs a border top and bottom and a slightly wider border on the sides.
Oh, the sweetness of this quilt. I can hardly stand it! Truly. Had I realized in advance how red and pink and white and sweet it would look I might have made it differently. But it will look festive on my front door -- next year on Valentine's Day 2019.
Please enjoy a heart while I head for my favorite Valentine's Day confection, chocolate.
I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie.
DeleteWhat a fun quilt! It turned out so well! Happy Valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brenna. Happy Valentine's Day to you, too.
DeleteAww I LOVE it! You're lucky to have yours..I made one a few months back, took it to the quilter, picked it up and put it somewhere that I cannot find. :-( I've searched and searched..it just needed binding. Grrrr
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sherrill. I'm so sorry you can't find your quilt. I hope it will turn up soon, or maybe that you've found it already.
DeleteHow sweet indeed! I love those fussy cut corner blocks. They look like Minnie Mouse ears. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy. Now that you mention Minnie Mouse ears, I see them. Before that I saw a flower with heart-shaped petals. It's interesting the directions our imaginations take us, isn't it?
DeleteSuch a sweet little quilt. I love the little corner stones. I'm glad you enlarged them so we could see them better. There is nothing like red, pink, and white in a quilt. I need to remember that. AND, it makes me hungry for something sweet.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin. I think the cornerstones are fun but they really are too tiny to see without a close look. I don't think I realized how very small they would be after quarter-inch seams all around. Did you eat something sweet or did you resist? (I have to struggle to resist once I have sweet in mind.)
DeleteAh, definitely sweet!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan.
DeleteWonderful little quilt! Perfect for Valentines Day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rebecca. It will be even better next year, after it has a border, quilting, and a binding!
