Glowing Hearts

/ quiltinggail

I joined Sandra Walker’s (MMM Quilts) Glowing Heart Quilt-a-long this spring. I originally was going to make a baby quilt, then I changed my mind and made it bigger. I used 7 fat quarters from a bundle of “Bluebird” by Editya Sitar for the hearts. 3 for the background of the hearts and 3 for the sashing. My intention was to alternate the ‘backgrounds’ with light and dark, but I wasn’t paying attention when I cut the darks and all of a sudden, I had enough for all the backgrounds. The light fabrics then became the sashing. The extra pieces were used for the scrappy binding!

To quilt this quilt, I used Silly Moon’s 4″ Cupid ruler. I started off in the middle, doing half hearts in a vertical row. It was OK … but once I got back to the top, I decided ‘enough of that!’ Then I filled out the sides of the quilt with random hearts. I did a heart, back-tracked on the ruler and started the next heart. In a few spots, I used the 3″ Cupid to fill in.

I’m joining in the Glowing Hearts Parade! There are already several quilts posted … it’s quite the variety and well worth going to check it out. HERE. Thank you Sandra for the easy paced, wonderful sew-along!

  3. Love the project, and so glad to see it from a Canadian (mind you, the title was a give-away…) I’m a scrappy piecer so will watch from the sidelines. I made a heart-related quilt in blues and yellows (designed by Bonnie Hunter) when the war broke out in Ukraine but in reality, I’m much better at squares, rectangles etc. I wish you all the best for your project!

    • Thank you!!
      You know, there was a time when I didn’t know how to make half-square triangles and refused to make any. That was several years ago … things have changed! I remember Bonnie Hunter’s blue & yellow hearts!

  5. Very pretty! Love the heart quilting, that works so well. Your color palette makes me think of well worn blue jeans, a big comfort item for many of us.
