My Quilts #266 ~ Simple Hearts Wall Hanging 2021

Image
Simple Hearts is a free pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew that I started back in February after seeing Sharon Holland's quilt (below). I fell in love with her fabric choices and wanted to make something similar using fabrics from my stash.  I did not use traditional red and am really happy with the fabrics I used. I quilted it with an overall hearts and loops design and used a polyester batting.   The backing is from my stash and has a pretty floral print.  It's a small quilt measuring 33" x 35", a nice size for a small wall hanging or table topper. July 2021 Update:    In August 2023, I gave this quilt to my granddaughter Emily. She was on her way to Seattle and stopped to stay overnight with her Tia Connie and cousin Lisa. Before leaving, she came by for a short visit, and I was able to give Emily the quilt.

My Quilts #265 ~ Chains of Love 2021

Image
Finished Size: 49" square Chains of Love is a free pattern by Jedi Craft Girl that I started in February. I used red and pink fabrics from my stash and quilted it with an overall hearts and loops design.  This is a quick and easy design that I've used on many of my heart quilts. The back is a pretty pink floral design with a light lilac background, and I used a Heirloom cotton batting.  The quilt is the size of a wall hanging and has a hanging sleeve. It has been added to my personal collection. July 2021
