Looks very pretty nice to me. Maybe you could put a pink bow at the top of the heart for a little color but it looks nice the way you did it. I especially like the heart shape. She will love it when she sees it. Sue

I had to laugh at this question, since everyone looks at me funny when I say that. I'm sure I looked at my DB funny when he told me that too! Anyway, it's the blue that they put on the dumpsters here. I've seen some green ones, but most of them are dark blue around here.

I like it. Very special. The fabrics have a wonderful shabby chic feel. Very pretty. Hope it's well received.

That is great. Great choice of fabric. I even love the stripes you used on the boarders. I have some stripes I've been hanging onto, think it's going to get used for bindings now.

Really beautiful and unique! And I think I speak for a lot of us when I say I can understand being happy that you were able to make something so wonderful for very little cost. Especially these days!

Thank you for the compliments! About the striped binding, I had to piece short pieces together to get it long enough, but that's the only fabric that looked right when I tried to match fabrics for the binding. The pieces actually came from the back of the heart cut-out in the middle of the quilt. I had very little of this one fabric to begin with, but it was perfect for this quilt. By the way, my DB came by Tuesday evening about 5 p.m. to see it, and he LOVED it! He will pick it up on Saturday.
