361 Days Early

So this is how I spent my Saturday afternoon – and it was delightful!

The afternoon was unseasonably warm so I pulled up the blinds and opened the window.  The sun was streaming in and I had a few hours of uninterrupted quilting time!

I was intending to get this friendship heart quilt all finished up well before Valentine’s Day, but you know how these things go.  So instead of thinking that it’s LATE for this year, I decided to say that it’s just 361 days EARLY for next Valentine’s Day!

The border for this heart quilt caused me a bit of grief.  I had a hard time deciding just what I wanted to do, and then I had to find just the right fabric for the job.  Then came deciding just how to quilt it.

I finished the quilting Saturday and tackled the binding this afternoon.  Tonight the quilt had it’s debut at our little quilt group’s show and tell.  I’ll have some photos of the finished quilt on Friday. 

Happy Sewing everyone!

  1. It looks beautiful. Can't wait to see it in full. I made a quilt similar to this a few years back.

  5. I like it! I like the 361 days early part too--I'm working on something that was supposed to be done for Christmas--maybe I'll say it's 10 months early?
    Don't you LOVE red snappers? They are amazing.

  6. Hahaha I often do that for Christmas quilts! Get them finished just after Christmas when I get some time off.
