I agree, I love the way the eye wants to investigate all the fabrics and patterns. My hearts were made totally out of all my scraps and I made it over a few years so that I had enough of certain colours to make it more colour controlled. Squares are 1inch finished and 90 squares in each block. I was going to make it bigger but this is it. I have put borders on it now but haven't photographed it.
This thread has been fun to look through. Brilliant work done by all.

Whay a great idea for the 1.5" swappers to do. Like this even more that it's this size of square :lol:

I used to get the 1.5" mail order swatch samples and I made a wall hanging that used 400 of them. The pattern is called,
"Road to St. Louis"; quilt name is: "Wildly Charming". I don't have a copy of it that I can download here, but you can see it in my webshots album.

Thank you, I had fun (and some challenges) making both!

The D9P, I found on line;
This one is how to go about 'making' the D9P heart blocks;

And this one is how to make the heart blocks;

The heart(s) take the most time to make, once they are done the rest of the quilt (9 patch) goes together fast.

The Happy Scrappy Houses was from Bonnie Hunters;

they both used "lots of scraps", but I still seem to have "lots of scraps" :?
