Decisions...............


The last 4 heart blocks are assembled but not pressed.









There are 10 blocks that I need to work into the layout on the design wall. 







Last night I sewed 4 patches with the idea of making crosswise rows inserted in 2 places near top and bottom of the layout.  Then I decided to try them around the perimeter instead and I think that is the way I'm going.  I need to sew 3 more sets of strips so there will be 6 different combinations of 4 patches.  It will now be 10 blocks across (60") and 12 blocks long (72").  There is a tiny chance I might make one more crosswise row of heart blocks for the length to be 78".  


Happy Valentine's Day!  There will be a lot of love shared today.

 

Linda Swanekamp mailed this Valentine to me, decorated with a quilted heart that looks like it is on hand painted and stamped fabric.  She comes up with a new design every year.

The patch border is PERFECT! I received my Valentine from Linda and it has now joined my heart collection from her. I use them as part of our February decor and it is such fun to get them out each year and revel in her creativity.
