#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.
