Endless Love

For this lovely beauty, I used nearly all of the red heart fabric from my cache. Red, white, and pink prints are a nice combination for a Valentine quilt.


I used the 10” Periwinkle die from Blue Wren to cut twenty-five blocks. These were stitched on my Singer Featherweight, Annie. Borders and backing feature a red on red small floral print.


I quilted using Janelle (Janome MC9450) with red thread, in a serpentine stitch along block seams, then free motion quilted scallops around the center star section. On the 5” borders I added a pretty heart stitch and a larger serpentine with white thread.


Endless Love is 60” square, nice size for snuggling on the couch with my sweet Valentine, Jerold.


Happy Valentine's Day!

Blue Wren dies used:
6077 10” Periwinkle
6720 Magic Strips (borders and binding)
