Selvage Heart Pillow for Valentine's Day

 This was a quick evening project.  I started it before my daughter went to sleep and I told her it would be in bed beside her when she woke up in the morning.  And it was. 
 The main reason it was so quick to do was because the selvage heart was already made.  It was a reject block from the Love-Serendipity-Family quilt I made last year.  So I just added some borders, quilted it simply and sewed it up.
 This is the back.  It is a Jennifer Paganelli fabric I believe.  It is a simple envelope back.  I like to make a nice deep pocket.
 Here it is in the rapidly growing pillow collection on her bed.
 I haven't taken any flying pillow photos for a while, so here's one ...
... and another.
