I got the last 15 blocks cut and finished sewing the top together....so far...and maybe I'm considering a border. It is 51" x 70" at this point. The layout on this one was a little difficult because I repeated several yellow fabrics. In fact the yellow with green dots is in 10 of the 35 blocks.
I have been getting pink fabrics ready to cut for a quilt so I sliced a bit off two of them and layered 4 pieces on my Wonky Heart die. This will make 4 blocks. They are only 6" blocks so I'll cut a few now and then and maybe have enough for a quilt some day.

Well, the yellow quilt is a ray of sunshine. I don't find those yellows repetitious at all, but enhancing the other colors. The wonky heart is so fun looking. I bet hand dyes would look great with that die.
That yellow fabric with the green dots doesn't jump out at me at all--I had to enlarge the photo to find it, in fact.
Only 31 here this morning--rain/snow mix forecast for the afternoon...so going out this morning for food shopping...stay warm hugs, Julierose
Your quilt made me think of these lines from Dr. Zhivago's theme song:
Somewhere, my love, there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hopes of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
It's lovely.
The wonky heart die is great!
For me, the yellow and green top would be fine as it is (no border). I love how bright and happy it is!
You made a lot of progress on the yellow quilt. If you do put a border on it I can't wait to see what you use. I can see spending some time auditioning fabrics to find just the right one.
What a fun eye exercise, calling our attention to your yellow with green dots was a delightful hunt. It’s a happy beautiful quilt Wanda and none of us have an issue with a repeating fabric, it belongs in there.
Valentines no matter how wonky, I love them. From fabric to heart shaped rocks that end up in my gardens. And it’s fun to find so many perfect ones and almost perfect along the river bank that have been tumbled in the river… for probably hundreds of years.

Cute wonky hearts!
