Right now I am on a "use what I have kick".
I have a tendency to buy fabric just because I like it, even if I don't have a particular project in mind.
For example, at least a year ago, I bought a rouenneries charm pack, and immediately after,
it was buried & forgotten.
Last week I was digging around in one of my fabric drawers and it was rediscovered.
I still liked the fabric, but what do you do with just one charm pack?
Based on the color palette of this fabric line, and my complete lack of any Valentine's decorations
for our home, a little light bulb came on.
I cut all of the charm squares into quarters to make the heart and borders.
I didn't have any fabric for the binding. Since I am in the process of "de-stashing",
I used decorator weight ticking. I wasn't sure how it would wash up, but it worked perfectly.
And, since this is just a wall quilt, the stiffer fabric won't be a comfort issue.
It's a little cheesy, but for Valentine's Day, I think it works.
(Finished product measures 28.5 x 33)
It does work and I think it's adorable! I have a charm pack that I got free over a year ago with a purchase and just don't know what to do with it. Maybe this is an answer since it's Valentine's fabric!
ReplyDeleteVery Very VERY! cute. I do love it.

ReplyDeleteI totally love it and I'm going to give it a try!
Not cheesy! Cute! I "heart" those colors! (Now that's cheesy!!)
ReplyDeleteI really like it! great idea!thanks for sharing,Amy
ReplyDeleteIt's great, and I don't think it's cheesy at all. It's a perfect representation of the season.
ReplyDeleteWho thought that sewing 2 1/2" squares of fabric together could create something so lovely. Will have to make one of these for myself.
ReplyDeleteI love it!

ReplyDeleteI just ordered fabric to make this quilt. So very cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I will copy but using paper!!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for a quick project to accomplish in the next couple of weeks. This is it! I don't think it's cheesy...but then I've always wondered who applies terms like "tacky" or "cheesy" to items? It's all personal taste. And this one tastes good to me! Toni
ReplyDeleteI finished my version of your totally wonderful heart quilt. Your directions were easy to follow and I'm so pleased with the resutls. This quilt was my first time machine quilting as I hand quilt all my quilts. I did hearts in each square of the large heart and am pleased with it. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern - it is to cute. I'm putting mine in my dining room.
ReplyDeleteThis is my finished quilt: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92435023@N03/8401638773/
This heart made mine smile! I want to dig in the stash right now ~

This is so great, love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your quilt and I think it would be beautiful for my new grand daughter's bedroom wall. Is it possible to get the directions on sizes of the squares, etc? I'm new to quilting and have never worked from a pattern from scratch. Are all of the squares 2 1/2" all the way through the project?
ReplyDeleteI see I commented here exactly 3 years ago! I can't believe it! :) I pinned this tonight and wanted to leave a comment to tell you how much I love this heart quilt! and here I see this first comment in 2011! At least my tastes are consistent! :) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAdorable and so simple.

ReplyDeleteJust came upon this and I love it. Was it 2 1/2 inch squares with or without 1/4 inch seam allowance? So cute.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like everyone loves the F1 Keto supplementary pills today for an effective weight loss process. Ketosis supplement aims to lift the metabolic rate of the body, to enter the fat-burning process quickly. Compared to the traditional ketogenic diet, this is the best source to try today because they focus on low-carb foods, which leads to nutritional deficiency and is tough to carry for long months.
