Kim's Heart Block - 28 hearts added


Counting all the hearts in the whimsical beaded heart and the celtic hearts plus heart buttons, heart beads in seam, heart charms, I added 28 hearts in all. (A few don't show in this photo in case you're counting) I think I even counted the word "heart" in the lettering.

This was the first of my ventures into various ways to add lettering. This "heart to heart" is a variation of an art nouveau lettering style..... The vine above the lettering echos the gold vines in the patches above and below. I want you to notice I actually did seams..... See post below for method I used to baste in the lines for lettering.
