Judith, I sometimes get intimidated by the way the blocks look too and then I procrastinate. Right now I'm procrastinating on Bird's Nest. I procrastinate and then when I get around to actually doing them, they are never as hard as they seem.

Hi Lara,
I have this book and love it! The letters are very interesting to read and the blocks gave me some inspiration for my Boomerang 5 swap (just finished it recently). I didn't get the book with the idea of making the quilt, but just as a block reference with perks!
hugs, Jupiter

I couldn't find a picture of the quilt made with the patchwork heart - but I've also included a picture of the 121 blocks made into a quilt. I think mine will look very different made with the pink and purple batiks.
Anyway - back to PH! I am not going to start a new project until I finish this one! ;-)

Judith, I'm glad you were in the mood to sew - the block is beautiful! I love the yellow and blue together.
Jupiter - some of the letters are so compelling! I am finding myself caught up in the letters as much as the blocks!

For whatever reason I have been in the mood to work on my pieced applique! I liked this square in spite of the tediousness of the method I am using.
The colors are not even like in real!

Love this one too. You must have a very nice stash of batiks to dip into.
When you are on a roll it's good to just go with the flow. :thumbup:
DH's birthday today so we are taking goodies in to the hospital for him. What a bummer being in hospital for Fathers Day and then your birthday as well.

Beautiful star Judith! I especially love that swirly gold batik. I can't wait to see your blocks all together. Maybe you could give us a sneak peak of what you've done so far?
Deecee - hope your husband is continuing to improve and you get to have your second birthday celebration with him soon!
