You encouraged me, answered my questions, and inspired me. Anyway, here it is... this is the Land of Happy Endings quilt, designed by Judy Hopkins. The pattern is available for free, but I don't know if I'm allowed to post the link without it being spam. Feel free to private message me if you want the link where you can get the pattern.

I did the quilting by hand. With red thread, I quilted a heart onto each nine-patch. With white thread, I outlined each white triangle. And I added red piping along with the binding.

Thank you, everyone!


Bummer!! I liked this quilt also and finally found a pattern to purchase.... Somehow I missed that free one. I thought that it might be a great way to use up some controlled scraps...

Your quilt is terrific, and I love your binding idea. I've been thinking about the finish for one of mine that is very similar in feel to this quilt, and I think some variation of your idea will work! Thanks for the sharing and inspiration!
