Many years ago I made this skirt and vest to wear for Valentine season. Everything was hearts - the fabric, the trim and the quilting. I wore it with a white lacey blouse.
When I look at this I think my fabric choices weren't very sophisticated and if I did it today my choices would have been very different.
Then I realize I did the best anyone could with the fabrics available during that time period.
This is the back of the vest with one large quilted heart. I never thought my hand quilting was very good but when I look at it now it looks good. It was easy to get even stitches as there is no batting in this vest.
I was playing around with Corel Photo Paint trying to make the heart on the back easier to see. I thought this was an interesting version of the photo! I think all the hearts are more obvious here.
I love vintage valentines and tonight's puzzle is one of my favorites. Happy Valentines Day to you.

the vest reminds me of the Leslie Claire Greenburg pattern. You are right about the fabrics, it is all there was available at the time.
