It Moose Be Love Blog Hop (Feb)

/ quiltinggail

It Moose Be Love is organized and hosted by Joan, from Moose Stash Quilting.

Challenge: It’s the month of “Love”. Show us what it is, you love. Moose are optional of course. LOL!!

Here’s a few ‘heart’ shaped quilts & wall hangings, plus a hugs and kisses quilt that I have made in the past.

For this blog hop, I opted to omit the moose! 🫎

Here is the start of my pink heart quilt. It’s the same pattern as the grey and Dr. Suess one above: I think. I no longer have the quilt, so am unsure as to it’s size. I’m using 5″ squares for this. I started with 5″ strips of Island Batik pinks from a Stash Builder roll, plus another pink in my stash and it’s paired with Island Batik’s solid white! 

Then, using the Easy Angle ruler, I paired the pink with the Island Batik solid white and cut triangles for 10 half square Triangles. (If you use an Easy Angle ruler, there’s no fabric waste, and once the HST are sewn, you only need to trim dog ears and viola! they are the perfect size!) Then I cut (20) 5″ squares. From the white (after cutting the HST), I cut: (6) 5″ squares, (2) 5″ x 9 1/2” rectangles, (2) 9 1/2” squares, and (2) 5″ strips WOF. The borders were from a similar Stash Builder bundle and were cut at 2 1/2” wide. The binding used the remaining strips in the bundle.

I quilted this on my domestic sewing machine and covered the whole quilt with hearts using the 5″ Cupid ruler from Silly Moon. Below is a close up of the quilting.

Quilt Stats:

  • Size: 40″ x 40″
  • Batting: Hobbs 80/20
  • Piecing: Aurifil 2600 (Dove Grey)

  7. Very cute heart piece. Kuddos for template quilting on your home machine – I can’t get that down (but use them on my long arm – go figure).

    • Hi Sharon, I’ve never quilted on a long arm, so I wouldn’t know the difference. I find it easy on my Janome M7 and I’ve taken a few classes from the owner of Silly Moon … she makes it so easy!

  11. I’m glad I persisted and visited your blog; most of the time I was getting an email rather than your website. You are sure set for the month of February with all those ‘love’ (lovely) quilty things. I do like your large heart quilt. Great.

  19. Sweet project! I really like the quilting you did with the heart ruler/template. Sets off the whole quilt! It was nice seeing previous heart projects too. I always like to see what others have done. 🙂
