Feeling the Love

I made some time for stitching today, and this what I found in my hands and under my presser foot!  It's hard to tell in the photo, but the background is a soft lime green color.  I have NOT enlarged the pattern from the Quilt Romance book.  So, those large circles are about the size of a quarter.  This is completely machine appliqued using a blanket stitch.  Being that it is little faster it does give me a more immediate gratification. : )
Piecefully, Pam

    Could there be a better quilt for Valentine's Day? Excellent timing, Pam. I love the spring colors, especially after getting yet another 5" of snow overnight. Help yourself to chocolate bon bons while you quilt. What size does the quilt end up?

    Well, gosh and golly. Thanks all for your kind words and nice comments. I truly appreciate them! : )

    I do not know what size this quilt will end up, Marion?! I am kind of winging it. I had to shrink the patterns for the leaf and heart applique borders, and haven't actually started sewing of said borders just yet. I have been cutting out the applique shapes though!

    I add that narrow blue border, and may or may not add a narrow border between the other applique borders as well...?! So, it's anyone's guess as to the size.

    I am having FUN!!! I LOVE ALL of Kim's designs and have such happiness working with these fabrics, colors, fussy cuts and selections. It's a joyful riot, albeit a bit of a mess too...shhh, don't tell! ; )

    it is spectacular! I was JUST thinking I need to put mine on the wall and draft the next row as mine has to be smaller... and up pops your yummy quilt!
