Hey, thanks for stopping by to see what I have created for the...
First, thanks to Carol, at Just Let me Quilt
for organizing this hop and inviting me to participate.
One of my goals this year is to use up some scraps...
sew I pulled these pinks and purples for my project.
I found a scrappy "heart" tutorial over at
You can get full details of how to make this over there.
The tutorial uses 1 1/2" strips and I had plenty of those.
Instructions were to make 10 strips sets of 6 colors...
I liked the light to dark layout.
I made some strip sets, and cut 12 squares from them.
Had to un-sew 4 of them in order to make the HSTs
8 scrappy triangles paired with a solid white triangle
to make HSTs needed in the design
I luv the BlocLock ruler for trimming up the HST squares.
OK now I have 6 strips set squares and 8 HST squares.
The heart layout was simple
and quick to sew together.
I decided to do Stitch in the Ditch quilting
withing the heart squares
and Echo Quilting around the heart!
The quilting shows up great on the back, too!
Simple works for me!
Take a closer look!
The pink backing fabric was just right for the binding.
Before binding it I added pocket triangles for at the corners
for hanging it as a wall quilt.
Just take a 5" square and fold it on the diagonal
Stitch it down using a 1/8" seam allowance
I will do a blog post sometime to show you how to use
a yardstick (cut to size) for hanging.
Love my customized labels from Border City Quilts on Etsy.
My heart is happy!
