This is the sixth heart...once again, these are the true colors.
I had done several hearts when I decided that I wanted to use a Disappearing 9 Patch for the setting...I liked the idea that I would get an asymmetrical quilt. I wanted all of the embroidered blocks in the left corner so I had to turn the blocks around to get what I wanted. Definitely easier to decide to use a D9P before doing the embroidery-you can see that I used a plain white square in one corner.... I could turn the block how I wanted it and then mark the embroidery.
Here's that block-just starting the embroidery with the block all sewn.
I used 3 D9P blocks-one with white squares in each corner, one with pink check and one with white squares (embroidered) in two corners and pink check in the other corners...really an easy peasy way to sew the blocks!

I hope this counts as my first quilt for the Striped Quilt Challenge at Love Laugh Quilt-it is only one striped fabric but I still had to think about how I wanted the stripe going...clearly I chose that it always went one way.
I'm linking to Finished for Friday at Lit and Laundry and Sew and Tell at Amylouwho. Stop by and see all the wonderful finishes.

This is so sweet. I was really hoping the hearts were fabric so I could go out and find it, but of course something that pretty was embroidered. Wonderful job!
This is just precious. I love it. Great work!
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Some day I'm going to purchase a machine that does embroidery.

I absolutely love the colors of this quilt. Reminds me of the pink gingham one I made my daughter 32 years ago! So many quilts I see today are not colors I would ever put together. I have two quilts in the works (one an appliqué, one embroidered) and hope to SOMEDAY get them out and finish them. Too many crafts to try, first!
