It looks wonderful.<br />I had sort of forgotten about thread basting. What a good idea for smaller quilts. I hate having to stop and remove pins. Years ago I used to thread baste quilts and got away from that. Thanks for the nudge.Bernie Kringelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753481379287809548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-40873603402446629932017-02-28T18:54:50.288-05:002017-02-28T18:54:50.288-05:00Congratulations on meeting your goal and it is a l...Congratulations on meeting your goal and it is a lovely finish :) Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-39109403574176009752017-02-28T18:39:40.408-05:002017-02-28T18:39:40.408-05:00Cute Cute Cute!!!Cute Cute Cute!!!Alycia~Quiltygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283575876006453806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-46790178175378881602017-02-28T11:04:04.429-05:002017-02-28T11:04:04.429-05:00I love the hearts and the flowers and the pop of g...I love the hearts and the flowers and the pop of green adds the perfect amount of zing!<br />I am glad if I can post thrice a month and then you post twice a week.

It was in the high 60's almost 70's here on Sat, but when I got up on Sunday morning, you could see bits of snow in shady spots where the temps had dropped over night and it tried to snow.

You can actually smell things again and hear the birds. Enjoy it because if our weather is coming your way it will soon feel like February again. I love your hearts, especially with that little bright green edge. Good idea to make the quilt fit both February and spring. I haven't tried basting with thread for machine quilting, but did enjoy using it for hand quilting because it didn't get in the way like pins do.JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-66811361039103871292017-02-25T16:10:24.000-05:002017-02-25T16:10:24.000-05:00It's adorable!

If you store it away for years there will be no holes from the pins either. Cute quilt too.

I'm half Swedish, so I'm a real sucker for those adorable "woven" hearts :) Any chance you'd share a heart block--as a relative newbie quilter, I'm not too good at figuring things out yet.
