A few months ago I requested scraps to start a heartstring block project. Here are 6 blocks that I have done so far.

I should have used a bigger strip of the focus fabric. But it is too late now.

A special thanks to those who sent scraps so I can strip them up. Here is a preview. I am taking a little time everyday to iron and cut strips.

Very pretty and colorful. Love those scrappy heartstrings. I think I may have to start one again soon, my strips are adding up here.

Didn't know that this pattern had a name. I just call it a scrappy quilt. I've started one too, but I think I'm getting my points in the middle and the other corner to small. I like yours better. What size blocks are you making? Mine are 6". I don't have a focus fabric either. I never thought of doing that. You are off to a great start. Not going to race you. I just do a few blocks in-between things, when I figure it's big enough it's done.
