Joyce/Mimi...I can see a whole quilt with blocks of hearts, all embellished with different trims. Yours look wonderful. Dang it. My list just keeps growing of 'want-to-do's'!

Thanks SandyinZ4.
I have been wondering what to do with these blocks other then a quilt. What are some of you doing?
Have considered table toppers, small quilts to use on door in place of a wreath (inside garage), or just mug rugs to pass on as gifts.
I want to start doing something with them so they don't wind up with my zillions of orphan blocks

The civil war fabrics are not colors I would usually use, so it is kind of hard for me to stay true...but I will....

I absolutely love these blocks, the colors, and the layout you are using. Those small blocks are such a great idea. I cannot wait to see this finished.

I just finished my block learning how to use embroidery stitches with my new machine. Since I only started doing these blocks a few weeks ago, I'm finally caught up and ready for the April block. What a great way to learn new techniques. Thanks so much for all the tips.

Southern I love your beautiful green colors! Your stitches are very nice, I bet you're having fun with your new machine!

Great job, love the greens for March!

Wow, did you say you were ready for April...okay hint.....4 fabrics....dark for background.....other 3 bright and colorful!
Of course, mine background is solid black, but the other colors are white on black, black on white with a bright blue...or did I tell ya'll that already?

Hey I'll try not to eat too much Easter...and get it posted early. Not too early, I'm Central Time and I am NOT a morning person! But I'll have the message ready to be posted anyway!

Hugs,
Cajun
