It's Valentine's Day, the perfect opportunity to share a pretty little heart-themed quilt in the making.
This is one of my sister Betty's creations, begun about six months ago for one of her two nieces and steadily worked from concept to quilt.
Each hand-pieced block is 4.5" in size and separated from it's neighbours by a narrow white sashing, which, like the pinks, are very scrappy. The hearts in each row are staggered against the adjoining rows. LUV.
She's made about 400 blocks in total but will likely use only 330.
The extra blocks were going to be worked into a border pattern I believe, but she's reimagining that idea so we'll wait and see what the final design becomes. So sweet.
Happy Valentine's Day!....M

I'm totally captivated by this quilt of your sisters. Of course, I love that it is being hand sewn. Such an interesting design with beautiful results. What a talented duo you two are!
Those hearts are so very sweet. All those handpieced hearts gathered together make for a gorgeous quilt.
Beautiful quilt!
That's a whole lot of hand pieced hearts, what a gorgeous quilt in the making.
Betty's hand pieced heart quilt is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it with us!
I am not especially fond of hearts but that quilt is going to be gorgeous!
WOW! such a beautiful work of art. Way to go Betty!
