Valentine Quilt Top - Completed


Size: 18 1/2" square.  Designed by Kathleen Tracy for Small Quilt Talk's Valentine Challenge
 
 I am not a pink person, however I will tolerate it in small doses. I added some blues into this Valentine Quilt.  I don't think Cupid is too happy :)


 I've started on Lori's Cheddar, Cheese & Crackers.  Lori did a quilt along last January.  It's a really interesting block at 4 1/2" square.  Have to be careful with the placement of prints.


 PS More Friends (Friendship is a Sheltering Tree) is almost finished.  There's still the bottom area with blocks of the same colour i.e. the grass, the lady's skirt.  We stitchers call this 'vast' expanse of one colour 'yawn stitching'.  Absolutely monotonous.  But it has to be done and I'd like to see it finished this week.

  4. Careful Barbara, you don't want to upset Cupid.
    But I think Cupid will be okay, there's alot to like about that little quilt.
    Lori's projects are all so appealing but haven't had a chance to get involved yet. Still watching from afar.

  7. You're X-stitching is absolutely beautiful, and you did a great job on the Valentine's quilt.
    I have bought a little booklet of x-stitch patterns, so will have to pick your brains soon!!!
