While browsing blogs recently, I came across a new quilt made by the very talented and not afraid to use colour quilter, Rachael Daisy of Blue Mountain Daisy
I love hearts, and actually would love to have a wall space for all the beautiful ornamental hearts I see but don't buy. Anyway before I get too far off topic here, she has made a new quilt featuring scrappy hearts on low volume fabrics, three of my favourite things in one quilt. I am sure my heart sped up as I read her post and drooled over the quilt. Of course, good me thought, "no you have too many wips, you don't need to start another project" , while bad me kept thinking about it all night saying" it would be a great portable project, bigger pieces much easier to travel with than your Fresh Cut quilt"
Obviously good me had no willpower, cos I bought downloaded and printed out the pattern and made the first block up that night. The hearts are hand appliqued onto the background fabrics. Currently I have made up four blocks, and am having fun choosing fabrics for and prepping other hearts for when I feel like working on something easy.
Your pretty hearts reminded me of all the heart projects I have pinned, and some I have made over the years. It is certainly a universal symbol! Lovely start Julie!
ReplyDeleteThese hearts are so pretty! And nice to combine machine with some hand applique. Did you sort a few colours first? or just going all-out scrappy?
ReplyDeleteYour hearts are beautiful!! I was also sorely tempted when I read Rachael's post but I didn't think I would manage too much hand applique with small pieces, however I now see they are large blocks and perhaps I could cope - tempting!!
