This exquisite quilt is soft pastels with floral and heart patterns. Each square has in its center a hand embroidered heart.

The quilted borders are a beautiful design called "feathers" which outline the rose fabric. The quilting pattern throughout the quilt body is made up of hearts. It will fit a queen or double bed.

It is called Hearts of Hope because it was started about 28 years ago. Raising a special needs child forced the completion to be put off. Now that life is a bit less busy, there was time to complete it. Parents Helping Parents seemed the perfect place to donate it.

The machine quilting was custom designed by Mary Provencher of Heart's Delight Quilting Company (www.heartsdelightquiltingcompany.com).
