Comfort Quilt......Frayed Edge Hearts 2



Day 2


Today we will continue working on the

Sweet Treasures My Love

Frayed Edge Heart Quilt








This is where we left off last month...

16 frayed edge heart blocks completed.







Today we sewed on all of the 

corner triangles

and pieced the blocks together.







Lani is preparing the 

dark blue inner border.







Claudette chose this large print floral

for the final border treatment.







Here is the quilt sandwich basted and 

ready to go under the needle.







It is FUN to see an un-quilted 

close up view...



Then check out what it looks like with a bit

of machine quilting on it:



I was only able to quilt for about a half 

hour today, but I managed to get the 

bottom row quilted.

Next week I will get it 

under the needle again!
