HEARTS - Update

HEARTS!!

Hearts and more hearts

Scrappy and happy hearts ...

140 HEARTS

As I have been making these hearts, I realized that I need to keep the heart units small.

I decided that 5 heart blocks per unit will be best.

With the smaller units there will be better variety in each row.

I'm making these heart blocks from my stash.

As I unearth fabrics I make a few hearts with my findings.

I want there to be a lot of variety and random placement of all of the fabrics that I am using.

Sewing the blocks into 5 heart blocks units should ensure the variety and random placement I am looking for.

I have done a bit of fussy cutting, for example the selvage edge in this heart.

And the face in the heart above.

There are faces, geometric patterns, florals 

and a statement.

This quilt project as become so much more than the simple quilt kit and pattern it 

started out as ....

This quilt is a keeper. A marker of time.

A record of a world wide pandemic, social injustice, and unrest.

And a reminder that loving one another with all of our hearts is what we need to do.
