Happy Valentine's Day...

My first attempt at machine quilting with a walking foot. Started this wall hanging (approximately 20" x 22") Friday afternoon and finished the binding this morning. Don't look too close, I have some puckers and obviously lots to learn about machine quilting. Besides the bright fun fabrics, I think my favorite part of this project is where the machine quilting lines intersect on the borders. For some reason those wavy lines of stitching make me happy!

What a fun quilt! Don't worry about the quilting, the more you do the better you become.

I love the clever way you have positioned the pieces to look like hearts. Happy Valentines Day.
We celebrated my husbands birthday with the family and friends it was great. xx
