Hearts for a Granddaughter

This pretty quilt is Heather’s.  She chose an allover heart and loop pattern as the quilt was made with love for her granddaughter, Adelaide, who is turning seven.


 
Heather asked me not to quilt on the green squares made up of the four triangles because she plans to hand quilt this area herself.  As I quilt freehand, it is easy for me to go around areas on a quilt.  But because it was not appliqué or something really obvious, the hardest part was to remember.  So I placed some templates on each of the green squares to remind me to go around those areas as I quilted.

 
Heather pieced the back, and the quilting shows beautifully on the cream.

  3. I would have need the reminder too but probably more of a sign that said " DON'T QUILT HERE'!! I tend to 'zone out' when I quilt.
    The hearts suit this quilt so nicely.
