Heart To Heart Designed by Mary Jobe Mason Look closely at the large medallion in the center of Mary Jobe Mason's wall hanging, and you will see four hearts, one on each side of the central star. Each heart is bordered with the same fabric used in the outer border of the quilt, which is bound with the same dark green that defines the hearts in the center. Elaborate quilting in the off-white background features more hearts, as well as curves, like those in the "marbleized" border fabric.
