Quilt as Desired.
I quilted straight vertical lines 1" apart around the perimeter of the heart. I quilted straight horizontal lines 1" apart in the center of the heart. And I quilted diagonal lines in the nine patches. Even though I quilted it on my longarm, it's very do-able on your domestic machine as well.
For the binding I used 4 strips 2 1/2" x WOF.
It is a super easy quilt to make in no time at all. When you make your quilt, please send me a picture via email to dorisquiltingqueen at yahoo dot com or post on my Facebook page or my Instagram and tag with #ninehearts and/or #quiltingqueenonline. I love to see what you've made.
