Diana, I love the little hearts around your crazy heart... nice job!

rwquilts 02-08-2013 08:27 AM

I just caught up on looking at these great finished heart blocks...pretty, pretty blocks ladies! Such creativity! I have my pattern printed out...just need to figure out what fabrics to use. :) Can't wait to see more pretty blocks!

Yes, I turned the edges under around the heart & blanket stitched it onto my background fabric. Then I added my embroidery stitches on top of that. I am thinking for sure, that the heart isn't going to go any where, hopefully!! :D Thank you for your kind compliment on my Crazy Heart block. I will be anxious to see how yours turn's out to. Good Luck & happy stitching!!
:D :D :D :D

:D :D :D :D

Very pretty! Love the prints you picked, and your hand embroidery work.

Alright, here is my February block...because I am using civil war fabrics, I didn't want it to look victorian so I tried to make it look more traditional? I also am making some small pieces each month to work in the finished quilt...I am showing them to you so you can keep me honest and make sure I do it EVERY month! 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....

WOW!! :D Your February block is absolutely gorgeous, I just love it. The appliqued flowers that you added really do make your block look like cival war era. Also the blocks that you are making to go with them are really great. I really like your idea's & will be anxiously waiting to see the future months along with the extra's!! Good Job.
:D :D :D :D

Patrice...............your block turned out beautiful. I love the color's & your stitching on each of the seams!! You did GOOD GIRL!! :D Kudo's to you & everyone who has shared their blocks so far. This was such a fun block.
:D :D :D :D

Difergie 02-10-2013 12:56 PM

Love that purple Patrice!

SewExtremeSeams 02-10-2013 03:53 PM

DiFergie, wow, I learned alot just by looking at your photos and how you plan to arrange your blocks. :thumbup:

Pretty purple Patrice. Once again, same block and everyone's take is unique. :thumbup:

SandyinZ4 02-10-2013 07:22 PM

Wow! Difergie, your quilt is going to be wonderful. It does look so Americana. PatriceJ, I love your purple heart. Alas, I have my pattern printed off but have not had time to get it done yet but I have until end of the month...or the rest of the year actually. Still have January's to do, too but good things come to those who wait...is my opinion. Love seeing everyone's pictures and I get wonderful ideas.

Here's my crazy heart. Now I need to decide what stitches I want to add. Whew!

Difergie 02-12-2013 11:10 AM

How can you not love a pink heart...espec so close to Valentine's day! Pretty...

Donna 66 02-12-2013 11:46 AM

You have all done some great blocks. When (and if) I get done with my valentine wallhanging, I may reward myself be starting this BOM :)

rwquilts 02-12-2013 11:54 AM

Linda I love your pink heart! I have some of the same fabrics as you do. I guess great minds think alike? LOL! :)

CAS49OR 02-12-2013 01:29 PM

SulaBug that is very pretty and your hand embroidery is very nice!

CAS49OR 02-12-2013 01:33 PM

Beautiful Patrice! Since it is propped up against the sewing machine I was thinking it would make a nice sewing machine cover front.

it's already a mug rug.
that machine won't ever be covered.
it's a decoration unless i decide to get it restored to working condition.
even then, it will stay out for display.
i'm spiffing it up a little at a time. :)

Here is what I finally decided to do for my heart block. I added some log cabin strips to border my PP'd heart. I had to paper piece the heart in 4 different sections to avoid any raw edges, but it was fun to do.

Love your heart & the way that you have framed it in the log cabin!

I think one of these would be adorable on the back side of a quilt.

Oh, Linda! I love your heart!

CAS49OR 02-14-2013 02:25 PM

I meant it would make A nice sewing machine cover for A sewing machine, not necessarily that mug rug or that sewing machine, or even one of your sewing machines... , I think I meant the pattern would be nice for anyone to use to make a sewing machine cover!

btw I love your sewing machine and your MR!

Ro: Go to this link http://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks-...a-t209206.html
and you can see where 2013 Block of the months are. There is no January heart. Each month will be a different technique for us to learn. I am hoping that I can catch up with them all by April.

Here is my Feb block. Going with the black/white theme I started with Jan block. I know I didn't do this according to the directions as I enlarged the pattern several times, cut out the peices, then used each peice as a pattern on different fabric, then sewed the fabric peices together and trimmed the edges a bit!

rwquilts 02-17-2013 05:08 PM

Pyffer3 your heart block is beautiful! :)

klgreene 02-17-2013 05:08 PM

Great job, I'm doing black and white with accent of yellow and peridot green. I figured I'd do a theme this year. And I love the black and white.

CajunBear 02-17-2013 06:30 PM

I began with black and white too and just forgot about it when I did the Feb. block but after seeing you heart I have to rethink this! I want and black and white quilt with a bit of color?

Hugs,
Cajun

czpainter40 02-19-2013 05:28 AM

Pyffer, your black and white heart is beautiful!
