Feb. Wall Hanging -- Hearts with more added in border.
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here is an update on my wall hanging. I've pinned some hearts in the top border. Think I like them.
Makes the wall hanging less formal and it will probably fit in my "down home" living room better. Any ideas? Should they go all around? Bottom and Top? Details like this are NOT my forte, so your ideas are most welcome.

Beautiful!

The hearts on the top boarder do 'help', but now the lower boarder looks . . ??? . . . maybe add some more hearts or a saying ~ "you have my heart", "hearts & love"

Now, that looks great!!!!

I like. I would do echo quilting around each heart.

Quiltngolfer 01-16-2012 10:48 AM

I agree, it's perfect now. I like all the different types of stars together.

I like this picture best - it seems to make the center a focal point, love it

That's perfect now!!

suzanprincess 01-17-2012 05:45 AM

I realize I am going totally against all the comments so far, but I think all the hearts added make it cutesy instead of striking, taking away from the center. I'd like to see more border interest instead of plain white, but more in the same vein as the yin-yang center hearts. Perhaps prairie points facing inward, or scallops, or even half hearts repeating. Just my opinion as a lover of hearts, but not of sweet and cutesy.

Very nice, great job
Have a Blessed day

I ironed "wonder under" type adhesive on the back of a piece of red fabric. Then I ironed freezer paper on the front of the fabric. I drew the heart shapes and then using a very sharp Havel Seam ripper, I cut out the heart shapes. You have to have a cutting board under your fabric. Then you iron your red center onto the background (white fabric)
cut same size as your red piece. I made triangles in white to hold the red cutout. I had to cut out additional red heart shapes for the sides because when you turn the first ones you cut out over, the adhesive is on the wrong side.
Hope this makes sense!

This is great!

grammysharon 01-17-2012 11:39 AM

I also like it better with more hearts on the white border!! Now it looks balanced and wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
