Spring version of the Heartfelt quilt

Introduction: This post is brought to you by one of the ladies in our small group, who all got together to make the Heartfelt quilt.  The following pictures represent her variation on the original quilt.  I absolutely love all the different aspects of this quilt.  Truthfully, I love all the different variations that came from each and every person in our group.  There were four of us that participated in making this quilt, and you will see, they are all completely different.  

This quilt was recently finished.  It is a representation of cheerful Spring colours.  If you enlarge the picture, you will see that this maker adding in a lot of her own elements to vary the quilt.

In the making of this quilt, there were some "reject" blocks.  And again, as in the last Heartfelt post, I don't like using that word here, as these blocks are also worthy of being on the front, but there was not enough room.  Instead, these blocks were assembled in a pleasing arrangement and placed on the back.  Here is a picture of the back.

The first blocks are a couple that I thought were cute!  Sorry for cutting off the points, while I took the picture.  It is not a representation of the maker, just my lack of photography....lol.  I am really loving the texture of the fabric.  So much going on that it draws in your attention.  Like the fussy cut centre too.


These monkey wrench blocks were an addition from the original pattern.  I like that the background fabric and centres keeps the four blocks cohesive, yet the monkey wrenches themselves are all different.  The variety of scale of all the fabrics definitely draws your attention.


I asked the maker to share with me a couple of her favorite blocks and this is what I received.   This first block was something that the maker came across in some book or online and decided to use it here in this quilt.  The individual blocks are called double bow tie and she made four blocks to assemble them together to get this pleasing layout.


This second block, I think is one of her favourites for the fabrics that she combined to make this block.
This was where she was learning to vary the scale of prints to make a more interesting block.  Attention to details can really make a difference in the outcome.

The heart picture from post dated Aug 13/2025-Heartfelt quilt words, also belongs to this quilt.

This was the third example of the Heartfelt quilt I posted and as you can see, there is such a vast difference between them all.  The next one, once I get the pictures for it, will also show you yet again how different it is from the others.
