Appliqued Hearts Quilt

I still haven't come up with a name for this quilt.  That is always the hardest part for me!  This quilt will be donated to the Limestone Quilt Guild in Kingston ON, for its Community Quilts program.  We make quilts to donate to many groups in our community, and  there is a never-ending need.
You can see all the "leaders & enders" that were used in this quilt, but the bins never seem to empty!

Final Set of Hearts!

Here are the last of the heart applique blocks that I made as teaching samples.  The full quilt will be next!

And More Hearts....

The hearts just keep coming..

More Hearts

Here are some more hearts from the UFO quilt project.

Finishing UFO's

I'm usually pretty good about finishing projects, but sometimes, when the excitement of some new idea hits, I just have to get started, and from time to time, I find a few UFO's around.

Last winter, I spent one of our quilting afternoons, teaching about  applique.  I made quite a few heart appliques, using several different fusible products and methods, as well as some hand appliques, showing different ways to prepare the pieces.  I took some time to finish all the applique, some by hand and some by machine, and decided it was time to make them into a quilt.

I used an alternating "leaders and enders" 16 patch block to complete the quilt top.  The top was too narrow, so I added border to each side, again using some "leaders and enders" 4 patches.

When I quilted, I wanted to use a different design inside each heart, but I think I did do one or two alike!
