I knew what to make right away...having recently found a photo online of a heart inside a star. I decided to make a pillow for a friend who is having surgery in the coming weeks.
Everything was in my scrap pile, including this fun chevron for the back.
I even found a heart print for the border. I quilted some words in the star points: love and faith.
And joy and peace. I'm not one to practice 😉 but I did practice peace...once...and then jumped right in.
I ran out of time...so a boxy stipple in the background.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate in the next challenge, as I'll be en route to QuiltCon when the next theme is announced.
