Lots of love

I stayed up late doing some quilting

I dislike quilting on my personal machine unless it's straight stitching, which this wasn't!

Binding! And you can see the back here

Label  called this quilt lots of love

And here is the front!  The sashing did not look that green when I bought it.  But I do like how the quilt turned out.

Heart block

I love this quilt block.  I was recently browsing and found this lovely quilt block.  It was not posted with a pattern because it was on a quilt block a day (for a year) calendar (what?! why haven't I gotten this?!)  So I had some math to do on my own.  I decided to use HST for the bottom, so that was fun to figure out the math!

Heart block

Here is another heart block.  I actually found this one online of someone that had done a block swap.  I like how simple it is.  I plan on making a blue one also.  I just haven't had much time to sew with school starting up!

Heart blocks

I think this might be my favorite of the heart blocks so far! And it is not even a heart :)  I found this block here.  I decided to do it a little different, I added a sashing between all the blocks, and I think I will be adding a sashing to the outside.  I might do it a little wonky (like the right wider than the left) but nothing is set in stone yet.)

I am linking up to freshly pieced WIP Wednesday.

These are both "log cabin" hearts.  I love the scrappy feel to them!

 

 

I found both of these blocks on sewhooked.com If you have never seen her site, she has a lot of GREAT paper pieced designs.

 

And this has nothing to do with the quilting world, but I just wanted to give a shout out to my mom on her birthday today!! Love you!

I am not sure where I found this block. It is a paper pieced block, but I used some strings I had had for the inside.  I LOVE the black background, but I think it's a little busy, so I think it shall be saved for sashing :)

Heart block

I had said I hadn't gotten much time in my sewing room, but then all of a sudden I was able to get into my room a few times and get stuff done!

I found the block here, I love how this one looks! and the blue and the orange works so well together!

Heart blocks

I love how these turned out!! Now comes the time for the hard blocks! (I just used 2.5" blocks for these ;) )

Heart blocks

I decided to use all of my 2.5" blocks to make two heart blocks.  I love how they turned out!

I think I really like how the orange turned out!

Heart Blocks

Here is my next heart block, I actually found this here.  I decided to add orange, I think blue & orange are a good color combo.

Here are my two blocks together so far :)

Heart blocks

 

When I go through my stash I have found I have a lot of blues.  So I have decided I am going to use them to make some heart blocks.  And since I don't have a lot of white, I am going use black as the background.

 

This block was foundation pieced, I just made some strips as I worked on other string projects.  Then I sewed some sqaures on to the top and bottom.  I used the left overs to make some HSTs, I was enough to get a little pinwheel out of the top (I didn't take a picture of it).
