Valentine's Day Just Ahead

I know--why start Valentine Day items now?!!  It's only a few days away--
I've been thinking that hearts are not just for February 14th.
Hearts can be given to anyone any day of the year--
Give to someone facing a health situation,
or has had a bad day overall.

Diary of a Quilter has a listing of various heart projects--
I collect red and white all the time--never know when it will come
in handy.
Heartbeat--a free pattern using Jelly Rolls--contemporary for sure.
Scrappy Log Cabin on the right  So many more Heart ideas on Pinterest!



More than 35 years ago, our quilt guild exchanged heart blocks--make X number of blocks for the number of those that want to exchange--set a date for the exchange--gather your blocks and assemble your heart quilt!
definitely a quilt filled with lots of "HEART"
Each person chose their own technique and pattern--we each had 20 blocks--This was so much fun and each year I pull out this quilt and remember all my friends from those days.
