#iheartyou

It was not my intent to start in on a new quilt right at the beginning of 2019. I have two large quilts in the quilting phase that I carried on from last year, and they were/are my priority. But then.... I saw the announcement of the #iheartyousewalong, and my mind was changed. I'd made the scrappy Strawberry Love quilt for my eldest granddaughter a while back, and the I Heart You quilt seemed perfect for my newest little grandgirl.


The pattern is by Meghan/Then Came June and Lindsey/Pen + Paper Designs, part of their Modern Holiday Quilt Collection. Though the original pattern is absolutely darling, I'm opting to use Lindsey's Patchwork Pattern Hack, digging into my scraps for mostly pinks + some low-volume neutrals for some scrappy little hearts. Kona White and Cotton + Steel Sprinkle in Stardust are my other key fabrics.



Anyone else joining in a new sew-along to start the year? Along with finishing up those wips from 2018, I think this little something new adds some enthusiasm to my sewing agenda.

  1. Beautiful block! I love your fabric choices and I prefer the scrappy version. I am trying not to join in, but may falter and join you all...

  2. Sometimes we just have to cave when the perfect project comes along. It looks like this will be a fun one to piece when you need a break from quilting.

  3. Love the block but sticking to my guns about finishing projects. I’m sure I will be sidetracked by a “shiny object” soon enough! LOL
