Here's the finished result - quilted, bound and labelled. The quilt measures approx 38" x 50" and will be donated to a local Special Needs School via my Guild. The next meeting is just over a week away and I have 5 quilts ready to donate!!!! I can hardly believe that I have been so productive this year, when the end of last year was such a wash-out :)
This one utilised the applique hearts from the
HeartStrings Group, everything else was from stash. I had to cut into yardage for the white in the 9 patches, but the coloured fabrics in both the 9 patches and the borders were all from my 2.5" strip boxes. I love going through scraps and remembering where you bought the fabrics or which quilts they were made into!
I had one extra heart block that didn't make it into the front of the quilt, but I added it to the back and made it the label!
Helen, I am in awe of what you have done this yesr!! Such a beautiful quilt for a special child. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteAnd glad you are back to doing what you love.
Great quilt, Helen. Congrats on the new blog!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! My kind of scrappy. Glad you were able to give those lovely hearts a home!

ReplyDeletewow! 5 quilts....you are really productive, maybe the break was just what you needed...I love hearts and this quilt rocks.....
ReplyDeleteHI Helen, thanks for dropping in at my new blog. I love your heart quilt and the border just finishes it off so nicely. The triangle quilt you've made is also very impressive.
