I had 3 hearts to applique then I found sashing and borders in my stash which is why it is a bit scrappy but I'm happy with it.... Sadly there wasn't enough final border to do mitred corners which would have been nice but then I would have had to fiddle to make the lines meet properly.... Robyn's stitching was very very neat .... This quilt is about 43" square - will be quite a nice wallhanging.
