I receives 20 cream coloured blocks with a red heart, off centred fused to each of them. I held on to these heart blocks for a while, as I didn't know what I wanted to do with them. When I started making NICU quilts, these blocks came to mine.
I didn't want to make a full size quilt with them, I was racking my brain trying to figure out just what to do with them. Eventually I came across a picture that I kept of a quilt that I wanted to make. The alternating blocks below is like an Irish chain block, but with a larger square in the centre.
When I thought of this block, I took the heart squares out to play. As it turns out, I have enough heart blocks to make two of these NICU quilts and a larger child size quilt. They will all have alternating red chain blocks. This one has little heart motifs in the red. The next on has bears and the last one I am doing it in scrappy reds.

I had a bit of time to play on my longarm and decided to get this one done. I did this one using a pantograph call Whole Lotta Love from Urban Elementz. I used a fun periwinkle coloured glide thread to add some interest to all the cream area. I like how cheerful it looks. So pretty!
Once I get the label on it, I'll have another one for Project Linus.
