One of my favorite and now go to patterns was a large heart with simple HST and squares. I saw the pixilated heart pattern and liked it but liked the edges that a HST would better define. I saw small blocks of a single heart that were more what I liked. So I sketched out the heart and where I wanted the HST I used 5 inch finished blocks. I asked the family what color the living room was and what colors they used and made a large lap quilt made for couch and snuggling. I FMQ their names and dates onto it and put it on the label as well. I used a ton of left over fabrics in the purples for the heart they both liked purple and in the tan backgrounds.
