In the midst of the cold of winter, awaken romance

In the midst of the cold of winter, awaken romance. Flowing curves entwine into hearts, wrapping around opening fleurs and pointing to the one you love.

Materials required:

• background fabric: 18 in x 40 in recommended*
• top fabric: 18 in x 40 in recommended*
• backing fabric: 18 in x 40 in recommended*
• batting: 18 in x 40 in recommended*
• binding: 3 - 2.5 in x 44 in strips. (I used the background fabric for mine.)

*½ yd fabric could be used but does not allow a full ease of 2 in either side of pattern. If you're laying fabric along the straight of the grain, you will need 1 yard.
