Fun Fact: The Project Quilting, Season 11-3 challenge this week is "Put a Heart On It", so I'm also linking up there! Check out all the fun heart quilts going up this week!

Molly has a lot of fun tips for the QAL, like how to audition our fabrics. I found this very helpful and switched fabrics a few times until I settled on this arrangement:

I quilted my wall hanging with my favorite 1/8" matchstick quilting:

I quilted it with metallic thread. Three of the fabrics, plus the binding all have metallic also:

  6. Just fantastic! I do love auditioning fabric in a similar way and take pictures to see what I like. If I am still not sure I make a slide show on my computer and watch it for awhile!

  8. I love your fabric choices! And the auditioning tip is really good - never thought about doing it that way. The quilting is fabulous, and in metallic thread! Yum.... Do you have a difficult time quilting with the metallic?

  13. Hi Nancy, what a lovely mini! and you got a two-fer with Project Quilting - that's a total win :-) I'm sorry that I'm so behind in checking out your post. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks. I'm at it this week again if you want to link up your Birds in the Air finish (I'm really struggling with that one!)

  14. That is a darling mini. And to think that I almost missed LOVE even when it was staring at me in the face. Hope your Valentine's day was everything you wished for and more.
