Valentine Ready to Appliqué

Well, what do you think?

Here's the other end:

The runner is ready for appliqué stitching! Everything is fused down and stable. I'll do edge stitching, then quilt and bind the whole runner (not sure yet what fabric I'll use for binding), then add embroidered bird legs and eyes. Pretty good progress if I do say so myself. Hope your weekend was restful and rejuvenating!
