Here is my little baby of the weekend (I think it’s about 23″ by 24″ — not sure if I mentioned the size before).  And I cut off the bottom part of the picture again.  That annoying habit is going to be my trademark pretty soon.  After arranging the flowers and leaves into a heart shape (actually a LOT of REARRANGING went on during this process), I bravely fused them down with heat and steam.  I am surprised at how good it looks!  It felt more like a craft project than a quilt project, but I’m pleased so far.  I have a couple of borders to put on, then I’ll quilt it.  The borders are first a narrow black border, then a wider deep mottled purple.

There’s another kit that’s a wreath of cats by this same company, Whims, that I think my mom would like.  Some day.  For right now I’m ready to do some regular straight piecing where I’m much more in my own element, although it’s good to try something different once in a while.
