Simple hearts quilt finished

Today I will be teaching at the workshop all day, so I am posting ahead, about this second quilt finish of the week.  This quilt was mostly done when I wrote about it back in Sept/25, post called Pieced hearts quilt top complete.  I noted at that time, that the quilt top needed a border, so it got put aside for a bit.  

Now that I'm trying to see how many quilts I can get done before the end of the year, I decided to get this top back out and work on it.  After all, it only needed a border, in order for me to quilt it.  With the borders done, I quickly loaded the quilt on the longarm to quilt it, then practiced again, putting the binding completely on by machine.  I'm getting to be ok at this!

Here is a close up picture of the heart block.  Note that the colours are a bit off.  In reality they are softer.  I have a terrible time with taking pictures in the basement and time does not always allow for setting up the photos in better lighting or outside.

I've added in my notes below, from when I drafted this top, from a quilt I saw online.  I'm not sure of the sizes or the construction of the original, but this is how I did mine.  The person who made her quilt, did not provide the source of the original design, so I am unable to pass it along.  If you recognize it, please add a comment below with the details.

This quilt is going to Project Linus when they collect them again.  It just missed the last drop off, on Sunday.  

Take care everyone and don't forget to take some time for yourself.  It's important!!
