Heart Quilt Top

Heart Quilt Top

Hearts are one of my favorite shapes.  (Do you have a favorite shape?)  I made my heart quilt top several years ago.  This quilt top was mostly playing with color and fabrics that I love but wouldn't usually decorate with or wear.  The hearts are 'fabric fused' on, not appliqued.  I appliqued one block and decided - no way, I will never finish this project if I try to applique on all the hearts.  I framed the finished top (so that I didn't have to quilt and bind the top), and I hang it on the wall around this time of year (Valentines Day).  The quilt dimensions are 20 inches by 28 inches.  

My Heart Quilt Top

Before I had children, I used to get quilt magazines, go to quilt shows, and actually occasionally piece and quilt.  I started far more quilts then I have finished, and some have become UFO's - UnFinished Objects that I have no desire to finish, and yet do not want to toss.  Many of my UFO's got bogged down at the quilt and bind stage of the process.  After I had children, I decided to try smaller projects, and now I have four beautiful wall quilt tops that I love but dread quilting and binding. This heart quilt is the one I will share today.
