After grocery shopping yesterday morning I turned on the iron and pressed the backing for the pastel 16 patch and the fabric for the rest of these heart blocks. Then I cut the 16 blocks here, 2 in each of the 8 stacks. When I get these pressed and added to the design wall I will have 8 across and 9 down, 72 blocks which if it was sewn, would only be 48" x 54", or I could do 7 across and 10 down for 42" x 60" with 2 blocks left over.
If I make it one row longer for 8 x 10 I could make blocks of 4 hearts with 1.5" sashing and increase the size to 55.5" x 69".
In the meantime I'll cut more Snail's Trail blocks and probably move those blocks to a design wall in the basement so I can expand the heart quilt on the wall in my main floor studio.
P.S. I love math.
I love math too! It seems like most quilters either love it or hate it.
ReplyDeleteYour heart blocks are going to make a beautiful quilt!
You are so good at math--I am not really...your additional hearts look so pretty...you have so many lovely pink fabrics...;)))
ReplyDeleteOnly 24 this morning but the sun is coming up and it's really bright--so hoping things will warm up nicely...I am doing my food shop today...Hubby is getting the oil changed on his car...hugs, Julierose
More pretty pink blocks! Math and quilting do compliment each other. Fractions sure come into play a lot!
ReplyDeleteLove your hearts. I sometimes think I spend more time on the maths than making the quilt (LOVE the maths!)
ReplyDeleteMath is awesome!
ReplyDeleteMath is my favorite part of quilting!
ReplyDeleteI’m thinking your heart quilt top will be done for Valentine’s Day … 7 days away . Thats as far as my math goes for today (*._.*)
ReplyDeleteLove all your combinations you’ve sewn for this piece.

Beautiful hearts!! Yikes, I run from math because I know I make such dumb mistakes even when trying not to.
