it has been a rather uninspiring month, hoping for the sun to break through the clouds
I started the scrappy hearts in the first days of January to get me started in the new year
the Happy Gang ladies thought it would be finished by now
but there are only two more sides to stitch on the binding and my fingers needed a rest now and then
it measures 24" x 26" - (61.5cm) x (66.5cm)
there wasn't a big enough piece for the backing so I patched it with two co-ordinating fabrics
the hearts were hand stitched through both layers so they show on the back
then I made piping with the red fabric and used it on the border
no doubt if it was stretched on a quilting frame it would be smoother - but it's done now
and the girls are happy - me too!
looking forward to a new month - happy days
