Hearts and more hearts

This is my current project I am working on. I needed to stitch some satin hearts to show and write directions for my method of satin stitching. Instead of just stitching 3 hearts on a block and then throwing it in a pile of unfinished blocks, I decided I would just do something with it. I had just a little bit of the purple floral and just a little of the purple tone on tone print, so I added an ivory swirling print for a border with scattered satin stitched hearts.

Hopefully I will be able to finish stippling the border today and then I will be ready for the binding. I am going to try the piped binding using the method that Ricky Tims uses. I saw that last week at our monthly Miss Kitty's Quilters meeting and loved the technique. It didn't seem that difficult to do and wouldn't take too long using the steps he described.
