    Except for the binding.. But I really wanted to show all of you! :)

    Boy, I think that may have burned some calories! My arms were tired when I was finished! I really enjoyed doing it... but there are plenty of mistakes! Long stiches and sharp corners.. ugh.. but I will be doing this more often for sure!!

    Tried stippling around the center heart

    Wow - you did good. I guess I have to try now instead of hand quilting.

    I love that setting and the fabrics you chose really show it up. Congratulations on the FMQ.

    Good job. Don't tire yourself out! I know you want to finish but that's why you get the long stitches. Don't "push" too hard. Keep up the good work!
