This is what I had planned.
This is what I ended up with.
The little preprinted hearts I was going to use in the corners had an off-white background which just didn't look right so the strips at the top gave me the length I was looking for. I wish I had taken more off the top of the block and centered it better top-to-bottom, but didn't see the centering problem until I had it almost quilted. Next time!
To build this 10-inch block you will need three fabrics, a background, and 2 fabrics with lot of contrast. The fabric with the red background uses a block 4 1/2" by 6 1/2" and a strip of 2 1/2" by 12 1/2".
The fabric with the light background uses a block 4 1/2" by 6 1/2" and a strip of 2 1/2" by 10".
The white background uses a block 4 1/2" by 4 1/2" and a strip of 2 1/2" by 10".
I used 3/4-inch echo quilting around my heart and stitch-in-the-ditch for the heart and strips at the top.
The label is on and a bit wonky.
So it is time to work on other projects.
I hope everybody is having a good day!
