Have A Heart

I finished just barely in time for Valentine’s Day, this year!

This Have A Heart wall hanging finished a bit larger than I had in mind, but that’s how it goes when I make it up as I go along.  23.5” X 23.5”


I have seen many similar hangings on Pinterest and wanted to try one myself.  I’m not thrilled with it, but it will do.

I pulled fabrics from my stash.



I cut 4.5” squares and 3.5” squares.  The small squares were backed with Wonder Under.



I used my paper crafting BigKick to cut the hearts.



25 quickly cut hearts.



I arranged the blocks and stitched them together.  Then fused the hearts in place.



I raw edge appliquéd the hearts with black thread for an outlined look.  Then quilted around each square.



I then couched two strands of Perle Coton 8 around the outside edge of the hearts.  

 

This was all finished on the 13th.

On the 14th I made a tag to attach to the wall hanging for a stab at added detail interest.



I might try this again someday in hopes of getting it more to my liking.
