Queen of Hearts

It feels so good to finish another quilt. This one has been sitting around waiting to be finished for ages (Sarah who the quilt is for likes things perfect so I needed to stick to that standard :)).
Sarah picked out the pattern (fairy hearts kate conklin) and Tula Pink's Birds and the bees fabric range)
It was a quilt of waiting, I finished the inside blocks but there was just something about the border that I just didn't like from the pattern. So it just sat there on my bed (I use it as a craft board) and I would look at it about once a week deciding what I was going to do. Then I thought ok, just break up the border.

Then I didn't like the backing fabric that I had purchased off the net (that will teach me just to guess, I'm buying a colour swatch chart when I go to the states so I don't have this problem again). Then  =I ummed and arrred about the backing. I had purchased excess fabric then what the pattern requested so that I could have more for scraps so I decided to carry the theme over to the back.

Once I basted it all together I ummed and arred about the quilting, so I just stuck with what I knew and loved and straight line quilting it was. I can't wait to wash it so it goes all puffy and cuddly.

Hope you love it sarah-jayne, tried to make it perfect just for you.
