The 3rd corner of the Hearts & Wreaths border was finished before we left for Maryland and I took several pictures. I'm sorry the left side got a little scrunched but you can still see the corners!
Just a close up picture of the corner.
If you click on the link at the bottom of this page about my first post about Hearts & Wreaths, you'll see a picture of the quilt. I changed my corners and didn't add the little leaf motif. For that reason I needed the vine/leaves to dip farther into the corner than the original.
It was challenging to make the curve the way I wanted it. It took 5 tries to have the correct curve, I wasn't sure it would be right until I appliqued the leaves.
I always enjoy seeing pictures of the backs of quilts before they're quilted.
Here is a link to my first post about Hearts & Wreaths. This post will give you information about the pattern, it also shows you a picture of the true yellow of the background fabric.

This Is a gorgeous quilt. Love the change you made to the corners.
I am loving the progress you have made on the totally rad quilt! I too love 💕 seeing backs… but on this I prefer a front view! I’m excited you got the corners figured out … your leaves… are they all different fabrics for those? Or are there repeats??? Do you know how many leaves this will be in total?
The label should be a leaf shape on a stem poached to a heart shape… down the road of course!
Love visiting your blog on Sunday… you are sew creative!!! 🎈

It's definitely another "WOW" quilt! Love all the colors, its such a bright and fun quilt.
Beautiful!!! You did a great job on redoing the corners, too!!!
Very pretty!
It's beautiful! I have to say I like your version better than the original shown on your first post. You did such a great job on the curves.
I have loved watching the progress on your Hearts and Wreaths quilt ever since your very first post about it. You are getting so close to finishing the applique! It looks fantastic!
Gretchen, this quilt is STUNNING! I do love the border on this and each block is fantastic! Thanks for always inspiring us! Sending hugs!
Dear Gretchen,
She is a beauty and with your hand quilting she will be stunning. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Winter has arrived up north and the snow has been coming and going. Another storm arrives later today, perfect for quilting in front of the fire. Have a wonderful week.
I like how you decided to turn the corners. I can imagine it was a little frustrating at first to get the arc just right. This is such a beautiful quilt.
Gretchen it is absolutely exquisite! You are now a Master needle turn Appliquer and pattern improver! This is definitely a Best of Show Quilt. I am so ready to get back to quilting in 2924!
What a gorgeous quilt!
Stunning. I love your version of the outer border. I think it sets off the quilt beautifully.
Spectacular! I don't even know how you figured out those corner curves, but it's perfection!
Just WOW! I can't even imagine appliqueing all those leaves!! And you make it look so easy........
Oh so close to a finish, so exciting!
Gretchen, this is coming along so nicely. It's going to be another exquisite finish for you soon!
Felicidades un gran trabajo!!
