This one has been on the shelf for a couple of months but in the last two days I finished two rows of hearts and now ready to sew the two halves together and do the last row of hearts.

It's going to be a bear to wrestle the entire quilt under the machine to sew on the middle hearts!

(this is the quilt in my avatar picture)

Beautiful!!! Pam, I've visited your blog and love it :D

Very pretty :D:D:D

Oh...that's beautiful! And I love your machine! Lucky you!

That is beautiful!

Wow, when it's finished it's going to be something. I can't wait to see the final quilt. That's a lot of squares.

I'm so glad you posted the picture! I've been wondering where you were. I agree that the obligations we make when we join RRs or exchanges sometimes get in the way of other things we suddenly want to do. Or do they unleash a burst of creativity just because we can't act on it? Either way, it's dad-gummed hard to do so many things at once!

What a pretty pattern. I don't believe I've ever seen this. Is this something you designed? You picked the right colors for it too. Congratulations.

I started calling this one The Never Ending Quilt. I worked on and on and on with these small pieces and it seemed to never get anywhere. I got to the point where I just couldn't do anymore and had to take a break from it.

Yeah, Joanne... The IRR was waiting for me and I didn't know what to do on it. I wouldn't let myself work on anything else until it was done. That meant I wasn't doing anything and it really got me down where I didn't want to work on anything.

I really need the creative outlet to keep myself balanced (not that I'm unbalanced! :P ).

The block pattern is from American Quilter, May 2010 issue. I added the hearts and border.

Thanks for visiting the blog. Just somewhere to write out thoughts, designs, etc.
