I'm still having trouble with a light fixture in my main floor studio so I sewed during daylight hours yesterday and finished this top. There are several different secondary patterns but the one I worked for was the 2 vertical heart columns on the 2 sides and then random hearts scattered through the center. There are varying degrees of value contrast so some show up better than others. I will consider this my Valentine quilt this year. It is 55.5" x 69".
Backing choices were made too. The black with circles will be full width and the other 2 pieces are long leftover strips from previous backings. The one in the center is an Australian fabric. I'll probably wait to quilt this one at the beginning of February since I have 2 others lined up to finish first.
The art quilters are coming tomorrow so I have to finish the clean up in the basement and bake cookies today. I hope to squeeze in a little sewing too.

I love the hearts--no matter how hidden they are :-)
Wonderful quilt. Love the hearts because they are there and don't hit you over the head, just play as part of the overall design.
I had to search a while for those hidden hearts;)))
--lovely put together of this one..hugs, Julierose
I saw your hearts long ago (^._.^) and diamonds, and Christmas trees too ! Your have created another fascinating fun quilt top with your triangles. Nice backing choices.
