I have a few red glass heart ornies, different sizes of red glass bottles, a vintage heart shaped tin, a half dozen or so repro vintage Valentine postcards, a red berry garland with hearts and of course...a quilt! A gal from the guild that I belong to designed this table topper which I made last Spring and decided to use it as part of my Valentine Day tribute.
I used a variety of fat quarters and leftover scraps. This was my first attempt at mitered corners on the red polkadot border and I used a vintage cherry pattern fabric for both the binding and backing.
It's not a large quilt measuring approximately 36" x 36" and I cross-hatched the quilting. It's displayed on an antique pine shaker style table which we use as an island in the kitchen. And there's Lola, posing so beautifully in front.

I love your quilt and how you have it displayed. As a general rule, I don't use table toppers, but that could now change.
Such a nice cheery quilt to put out in the dead of winter. It is beautiful! Give Lola a hug for me. She's got a sweet face.
Lola is just gorgeous!

Thank you for stopping by my blog...and what a nice surprise to see your blog....I LOVE your hand quilted quilt...it seems to be a lost art now days. I liked your "Tisket" BOM, I think they are going to be sooooo fun to make. Happy Sewing!
I love you quilt. It is so cute displayed that way. I have very few Valentines Day decorations too. I think that I will do something about that.
Such a pretty quilt, perfect for Valentines Day. I love the colors.
