My finished version of the Heartfelt quilt

I realized recently, that I left my Heartfelt quilt as a cliffhanger.  I wrote about that on the August 13/2025 blog post called Heartfelt quilt words.  Prior to that, the last posted about this quilt was back on January 22/2024.  I have since completed this quilt.

For a bit of history, this was considered a BOM (Block of the month) quilt.  Our little group of ladies met up every month to sew on this quilt.  We started this back on Oct 7th/2023, then we met together for the first session at my place.  Then each month we met at the designated home to work together on each of our own Heartfelt quilt.

It was really nice getting together, sewing, socializing and watching all the different variations that came out of one pattern.  We even encouraged individuality in making the quilt each our own with sharing different block options and layouts.  I think they all turned out beautiful in each of the different colourways.

Here is my version of the Heartfelt quilt.  I chose to do all of mine in Red, pink and white. The background was using white with red print.  The letters were from Sugaridoo.  

I want to draw your eyes to the large X and O in the quilt that was made to stand out with the darker fabrics.  Purposely done to emphasize the theme of the quilt "Heartfelt" with, Hugs & Kisses (X and O) and there are other references to the same throughout the quilt, with the addition of a set of smaller x and o, plus different sized hearts.  Enlarge the picture and have fun exploring.

It was so fun to do this quilt!!  I loved the comradery that we had as a small group and watching all the blocks shape up.  The goal for me was to make sure I had fabric with enough contrast, as the whole quilt was being made out of only two colours.  I still wanted there to be a distinction between all the blocks.

Here are a few pictures of various sections for a closer view of the different blocks.  In this first one, we have friendship stars, a monkey wrench, flying geese and square-in-a-square blocks.  I wrote about most of these blocks in previous posts dated back from Oct 17/23-Jan 22/24.

In each of my eight-point stars, I decided to add in a four-patch to the centre (as seen below) and in all the sawtooth stars, I added a crazy block to add some interest.  One of the ladies in the group gifted my a paper piece pattern of this 6" crazy pieced heart.  These pictures go to show you that even though this is a two colour quilt, there are many shades of each colour from dark to light, or bright to soft. 

Here is one of my favourite blocks.  A set of four monkey wrench.  All have the same centre, each kiddy corner block has the same background, but otherwise they have everything else different.  So cute!  I love the texture/design of the zigzag fabric in the top left block.

Hope you enjoyed my version of the Heartfelt quilt.  Stay tuned for the reveal of the other versions from our group in future posts.
