Jennifer is finally finished.
I had to piece the backing, using some of the fabric from the front and a very pale mottled yellow fabric. I quilted in the ditch, both sides of the central border, and on the inside of the outer border.I then tried my hand at some hearts. They are what I would called rustic, or naive! Not perfect, but not bad for a first attempt.
Here she is in all her glory. I did hand finish the binding on this one again. I like the narrow effect it gives the binding at the front. I used a pale pink mottled fabric as a contrast to the deep red.
Now I need to decide what to do today. So many projects are calling, but I can't do them all at once. Maybe the ironing will help me decide.

Jennifer is lovely and I like the hearts. You are very active these days!
Jennifer is wonderful. I think you did a great job on those hearts. Give me 'rustic' over 'perfection' any day of the week.
Jennifer looks wonderful! Congratulations on another finish! :0)
Stunning! I love the red.
Jennifer is a perfect Valentine .Hearts were a great choice for the border as a repeat of thr sticherie element. Nice finish .
Jenifer is quite the beauty. The 'rustic' hearts are a nice touch. I use that label myself for all my eye-balled projects that I didn't feeling like measuring!
