love the hearts and the backing. great quilt

Thank you so much for your kind words. I used a pattern called Topsy-Turvey Hearts from cottongloryquilts.com. It calls for cutting 2x8 inch rectangles and using one 4 inch square on the bottom in the rectangle to make the point of the heart and 2 2.25 inch hearts on the top of the rectangle to make the heart bumps and then sew 2 opposites together to make a heart. The instructions were written more clearly than that, but that's the gist of it. I was pleased with how it turned out. It calls for 2.5 yards of background fabric, 3/4 yards for binding, 8-13 fat quarters and 4-4.5 yards for backing. There are also optional boarders calling for .5 and 1 yard of fabric for each. I now have a bunch of bonus triangles left over to do something with. I'll need to figure that one out next!

Just Jan- I posted the pattern name in this thread. It makes a nice lap quilt. I found it easy to make and I hope your chemo treatments go well.

I love your quilt and what a wonderful gift. She will think of you every time she uses it!

very nice !!!

What a pretty quilt and thoughtful gift...love the bright fabrics you chose.

I love to pay forward kindness with a quilt. She will love it and the heart theme is perfect to express your thanks.

I bet she will love the gift - she sounds so kindhearted.

What a great pattern. Really pretty.

That's such a special graduation gift & I know she will love it. It's beautiful. Love the backing/pillowcase fabric....just perfect!
