Patchwork Heart Wall Hanging Completed!

Are you ready for a UFO challenge?   I joined the Crafty Quilter and have my first completed project of the year!  Stop by her blog to see her darling heart quilt UFO and find out about a give away.
I was happy to find this little quilted patchwork heart.  Good time to make or finish something for Valentine's Day!

I hoped this striped fabric would look good for the binding.

At first I thought it was a piece of cake because I whipped it up quick, but then noticed how crooked it looked.  (Top and bottom right and bottom left areas).
So it took more time, but I removed the stitching and was able to straighten those edges and corners up a bit.

This project was originally made last February and also has a tutorial, in case your want to make one too!
Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts,  Needle and Thread Thursday and Free Motion by the River.
