Care Bear quilt - Slow stitching

 

My latest quilt (42.5" x 60")!!  I pieced the front several times before I got a good balance between the pieces.  I added a cotton fabric for batting and used a blue fabric for the backing and binding.  It frames the quilt front quite nicely and coordinates quite well with the blue Care Bears.  I slow stitched two rows of pink hand cut hearts on this quilt using blanket stitch around the edges and added a little star with a yellow french knot in the middle.  I have three more quilts to get finished before I can move on to a new project.  I am still working on slow stitching cat squares and have worked up several butterflies which I will start as my next slow stitching project.  Therese
