Valentines at last!

I know you are saying, "Its Christmas Eve not Valentines?" But hey you know me I am a little different (ok maybe a lot different)  But it is not Christmas Eve its Valentines or at least it is for my Beautiful wife because yes it is finally finished.

My wife has been giving me some serious flack for not finishing things and or quilting at all.  So while working on my son's quilt for Christmas I finished finally quilting her valentines day present for last year.  So Valentines day is in February its now December, see I am hardly behind.

I had fun quilting this though its hard to see what I did.  I echo quilted out the heart both inside and out.  Then I square quilted the rest of the quilt (well echo quilted the squares with exception of those that I echoed around).

Here is a close up of the left over junk I tossed onto the back.  As a want to be modern quilter the back is as important to make a statement as the front.

Here is a close up of the top front so you can see what I was talking about on quilting.  Now what holiday should I do next?  I am still not ready for Christmas.
