Hearts Wallhanging

This quilt is machine pieced, machine appliqued, and machine stipple-quilted.

Each heart is made up of a 4x4 checkerboard and the top "bumps" that make the heart shape. I used the fusible applique method where you sew fusible interfacing to the right side of the fabric, then flip it right side out, and fuse the applique to the background fabric.

I then used my sewing machine's blanket stitch, or applique stitch, to stitch each heart in place. Once the top was appliqued, I layerd the quilt with Hobbs Heirloom cotton batting and a backing. I straight stitched around each heart and in the border.

I stippled quilted the background heavily! This took a lot of time, and my back was killing me! My stitches are not quite perfect, but it was the first time I had tried this technique, and it won't be the last.

This wall hanging goes nicely in the bedroom with my Double Nine Patch quilt.
