Hi, everyone! I got the straightening-upbug badly this weekend, so I was moving stuff around & I came across 4 AOTH block patterns that I had enlarged to 10" size. I have already done them in 7" size, but these look huge compared to mine!

I have cut out nearly 200 small hearts (only 3 per fabric, so it's as scrappy as my blocks) to slap down the center of the inner borders. I have decided that the border will be 2" finished so there is a bit of black space to highlight the hearts. They will be nested, but pointy end to pointy end at the very center. Will decide what the 4 corners will be like when these are done. Probably a bit larger heart with a fancier point tip on the diagonal of each corner. Am probably going to meander along one side, then the other with the Razzle Dazzle to give it a bit of life. I discovered that I can use invisible thread and stitch continuously down 1 side & back up the other.
