I just played with the fabrics that spoke to me, arranged the hearts in a circle or plate pattern and worked from there. I knew I wanted each square to be different so I chose 21 fabric scraps and worked from there, when I needed more I just pulled more scraps from the bucket and worked with some FQ's from the January FQ Swap. I liked the Valentine's Day fabric because I was working with hearts. And because the hearts are easy to cut out. I chose the lavander because it worked with the pinks and greens, the lime sashing...because I'm drwn to lime for some reason. The floral tied it all together and then a final lime band to give it a finished look.
When I get ready to quilt the top I will use a butter yellow for the back and the leftover foral fabric to bind it.
Thanks
