Just in Time for Valentine's Day

After weeks and weeks of development, it's finally here! The Heart to Heart Valentine's Table Runner Pattern.
I wanted to design something a little sophisticated and less cute-sy. Something for my dining table. (Because of the lack of light today, I took these photos on the coffee table downstairs, however.)
Originally the quilting was going to be really simple but then it took on a life of its own...

As part of keeping it modern, I decided that I didn't want to put a binding on it. I wanted it to look like a runner, not a quilt.
Thank you for the wonderful facing tutorial, Victoria!

It was a little more involved than binding, but the result is wonderful.
Here's the back. Almost whole cloth-like, isn't it?

Can you tell I'm really happy with how this turned out?

Hearts!

It's finish #2!

I wanted to make a heart cushion that would work after Valentine's Day as well.
Saw this on Amy's blog and used it as a starting point.

Many trials and tribulations later...




I got to make Prairie Points. Yay!
