More today than yesterday - WIP Wednesday

Still working on a last minute Valentine's Day WIP.  Little Olivia has been home sick the last few days and I haven't had time to do much sewing.  Luckily, my dear husband won't be home until tomorrow night, so I hope to be able to finish it up tomorrow when she finally goes back to preschool.

I used some of the scallop templates from my curves class to make the top of the heart, then tried some improv curves to make the bottom of the heart.  I actually ended up with excess pink fabric (it was puffy), so rather than try for the 6th time to get it right, I decided I would just do a little trapunto under the heart.  Hey, when life gives you lemons, right?

I plan on going back and adding some black thread to the message in the heart, "I love you more today than yesterday. But not as much as tomorrow", so you will be able to actually see it.  I am also considering adding the rest of the lyrics to the song around the heart in the white background.  We will see if I actually have time to finish all that.
