I'm done working on the HeartStrings quilts for Project Linus - here's a stack of 7 quilts that I finished up all washed and ready to donate. Included are tops that were given to me to quilt by Mom, Barbara in FL, and Deb in AZ as well as a couple of mine.
I loaded and started quilting another HeartStrings top pieced by Sue. I had intended to use a pantograph - Ebb and Flow, but I decided I didn't want to quilt across the gold stars with the dark thread. However, I still wanted an allover wavy line kind of quilting like
Dwirling . I'm not sure I'm thrilled with it since I'm going up around the stars and I had more in mind just a side to side motion but I think it will look fine when it's done.

You know, Mary, I think that wavy line on the red stars quilt looks really good...reminds me of a waving flag.
Or should I say "Red, Blue and Gold Star Quilt!"
It will look more than fine! I like the wavy lines.
Everything you do comes out great. Stop worrying about it.
Wow, what a pile. You are very prolific in your quilting, Mary. And I know these quilts bring alot of love to the people that receive them. Good for you! I really like the wavy lines.
The quilting looks FAB in the picture :)
I love it....waves....
Very pretty. Mary could you post a photo of the whole r/w/b quilt (Sue's)... it's so pretty.
Does your Linus group accept quilts that have the HeartString label? The local Linus group here won't take quilts that have another label on them ... all have to have the official Linus label.
I read Sandy's comment in disbelief. I am sure needy people care less about the label!
Love all those quilts Mary. You are so generous with your time.
Wow, you have been a busy girl! I love the wavy lines. It looks like flags waving in the wind.
All your quilts will bring a smile and a comforting hug to so many people. God bless you.
I think your quilt looks great. The wavy lines combine with the stars and blue and red to evoke a flag waving in the breeze.
I made five quilts for Project Linus last month, and let me say, I am so envious of people with access to longarm machines! Would have made all that machine quilting so much easier.
