Well, it still needs the binding, but here is the (first, I hope) quilt for Heartstrings. It is about 44X60. It still needs a binding, but that shouldn't take long. This is the first quilt I did a panto on, and I'm not entirely thrilled with how the quilting turned out, but it was a learning experience...I had a lot of trouble getting the rows to line up correctly but I guess its just a matter of experience and practice.
This quilt didn't even put a dent in a small grocery sack of strips that I had. I could probably make a hundred of these quilts before I made a real dent in the scrap piles.

Looking good! I like the way some of these blocks look like they're receding into the quilt - guess it's the ones with the darker centers!
It's beautiful! Where is this one headed?
Very nice!
It looks beautiful! Someone out there will love and appreciate it very much.

Very Nice!
well done, Tracey! I love the way the reds make it zing. What better way to practice a quilting technique too. It looks good yet doesnt have to stay at your house and will warm someone in need.
Tracey~ Colors look GREAT!~ I would love some help on how to post that Heartstrings graphic on my blog! I have all my red blocks done and now on to blues ones. I'm hoping to do the setting shown on the graphic! Soccertxi@aol.com TIA Beth
