I've finished with the quilting the RWB HeartStrings top and while I'm not really happy with it, it's not as bad as I thought. By the time it's washed and dried I think it will look fine.
I neglected to actually measure the backing provided and managed to run short. Thanks to a post on MQResource , I was able to piece the backing with the quilt still on the longarm. Let me tell you THAT was a big help.

I like that quilt. I also think your quilting pattern choice was just fine. Makes me want to rush out and cut into my RWB stash of fabric.
Mary, I really love those wavy lines and think they fit in perfectly with the quilt theme. Great job!
The quilt is marvellous! I love your quilts from scraps.
It looks great! I like the quilting pattern you chose for this quilt.
I think it's a great effect! BTW, I got your raffle money today and will send the ticket stubs back to you soon - as soon as I get all of the tickets filled out!
That quilt is just lovely. I think it turned out great!!
I like what you did with the string blocks. Good idea! Whew!--piecing your back on the frame must have been quite a trick! I'm glad it was an option. Nice quilt!
Looks great to me!
Oh gosh Mary (and Sue) it's beautiful. I love it. Thanks for posting a full photo.
The quilt looks great. Love the stars in the sashings. The quiltpattern works well with the quilt too.
I think it is the prefect design for the quilt, don't be so hard on your self. I am a big fan of RWB quilts.
Its simply delightful.
I love it! What are you unsure about?
Looks fabulous to me!
I stumbled onto your blog looking for quilt ideas. I think you did a beautiful job on this quilt. Its lovely!
I love this one!!! Still a "string" quilt but with a totally different look. And the wavy lines are just PERFECT - like a flag waving!!! Really Mary, this type of design and quilting together is a winner.
Cheers!

Lovely quilting and leaving the stars unquilted really makes them stand out. Just beautiful!
The quilt looks fantastic! Love the way the yellow star POP in the sashing. Great job :)
