You're All Heart
 

I have been working on this on and off for about 2 ½ years. There are 110 machine appliqued hearts in three different sizes, on 24 separate pieces of fabric. Each measured 9 inches before joining up. I decided that it would be much easier to applique them if the sections were on the small side. I originally was going to outline all of them in white, but that got boring in a hurry, so I have added a number of other threads to them. It will be a present for my husband Jim, when it gets finished. I do not have a date for that so it could be Christmas, or his next birthday.

Size 34 x 54 inches. Batiks and regular fabric.

Really nice and original! Couldn't help but notice your a Bruins fan. I'm a Red Wings fan. At least it's hockey season :-)

I like the Red Wings also. I can easily root for them, if they are playing anyone but the Bruins. :-)

nicely done

Another lovely quilt and sweet idea for a DH. I love it and may I, with permission, borrow the idea for my own sweet DH.:D
peace

You sure can. I would be proud to say someone else loved it enough to want to make one too.

that is totally so cute.

I love your design. Very cute. That's a lot of applique!

I really like your hearts. Noticed you have a TN plate on the wall. I recently moved to OK from TN.

I love your beautiful quilt! I have also noticed the fish blocks and those are beautiful too! Thank you for sharing. :)

Yes I lived in Nashville for 12 years. Went back to Massachusetts after my dad died. Now in East Oklahoma.

Lot's of love went into those hearts. Beautiful

beautiful piece. I'm sure you're glad to have it finished after 2 years. Since I participated in an applique class this summer at the Maine Quilt Show, I can only imagine how much time it took you to applique all those hearts... : )

I LOVE your quit!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been collecting hearts and scraps of red fabric forever with the intention of making a heart quilt someday. ( I like the multi-colored look much better.) Looks like "someday" has arrived. Thank you, Boston 1954, for wonderful inspiration. Your HappyHusband is going to go bonkers when he receives it!

What a gorgeous creative quilt!

Now, there is a quilt that I would call "Joyful".

It's lovely.....the design is really special, there's something quite captivating about hearts. Love the fabrics.

Your hearts ar just lovely. What a nice quilt. Your idea is great

What sweet hearts for your Sweetheart! Luann

I love hearts and your quilt fits that bill! Great job!

Bless your heart! If I were in Okla, I would be pining for somewhere else, too. Yes, I have lived there, so I do know what I am talking about, so people don't bash me.

I made a heart raffle quilt. I like yours better.

This is an awesome quilt top.

I am sure it will be heartily appreciated.

I too love the multi-colored hearts. And I really love the fish next to it.

Very nice..

very pretty!!!

very pretty

That's cute. I like little plays on words.

Taco Mama, I like the people of Oklahoma, but I do not like scorpions. Yick!! I've seen 19 in the seven years here and everyone has been INSIDE the house. I miss Massachusetts so much. I miss the snow too.

Love this one.

Lovely quilt...no pun intended!

It is so pretty & I see that you have put a lot of work & time into making this wonderful quilt. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us here on the Quilting Board.
