A recent finish!! This quilt went together really quickly, as I was making two quilts at once! While I was working on the low volume string chevron quilt, I was also working on this one. The chevron quilt requires long strings, as they are on a diagonal, so any strings that were not long enough, but at least 3 1/2" long, were put aside. In between the chevrons, I would sew the leftover strings into squares that measured 3 1/2".
For the pink heart blocks, I decided to also use strings for the main centre pieces and for the outer edges that make the heart shape, I decided to just use HST (half square triangles).
The original pattern calls for neutral squares of fabric. I just decided to do mine with strings, as I have an abundance of them and I'm always looking for ways to use them up.
The pattern came from a magazine I purchased called All People Quilt and is called Pieces of My Heart. The pattern makes a larger quilt, but as they use basic squares, it is easy enough to just reduce the amount of rows to make it smaller. I kept the pattern and drew some reference lines to show the various sizes I can make. Next I think I will make a NICU quilt for Project Linus.
Take care everyone.
