My youngest granddaughter will be 12 tomorrow, and this morning at 11:00 I got the bright idea to make her a pillow in addition to her gift of cash. Her bedroom has been in transition for a couple years, but her walls have a chair rail with blue paint below, so a pillow with blues and touches of gray and white should do the trick.
I have loved this
floating heart pattern for a long time and thought a blue heart would make a worthy substitute for red and pink. I didn't offset the heart because the area is small - only about 14 inches square - and I wanted the heart to be the center of attention.
My time is running out. We have some "must-do" plans in the morning, then we are meeting for the birthday girl's dinner late tomorrow afternoon. I have the top pieced and am quilting it but still need to make an envelope back using
Christine's excellent tutorial. Will I make it in time???
