I added a narrow border around the outside - a leftover scrap of the pink I used as the backing and binding of Scrappy Hearts and Nine-Patches.
I alco pieced a scrappy backing for it, using the paper-pieced hearts I was playing with in February.
Today I'll be putting in some slow-stitching time as I get started on hand quilting this.
Enjoy your Sunday! Sharing at Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap and Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.
