I saw this quilt on pinterest and decided I needed to make one of my own.
I had bought a jelly roll of Chemistry by Cosmo Cricket for Moda and wasn't disappointed. There are very few prints in the line - and redone again in 3 different colors - so you have a ton of repeats in the jelly roll. I was worried I wouldn't have enough variety in the heart - but I love how it turned out. I think this is the perfect project for repeat fabrics as you barely notice.
I stippled through the white and did an outline in each square. I really like how it turned out.
The backing was a red/red tonal print and the quilting stands out a ton on it! I love how it looks, yet I can see every flaw....
This was a fun semi quick project and will add wonderful pops of color anywhere you put it. The original pin I saw was done in French General fabrics, and I think I'm going to have to make one of those next. I think this one will be hitting the etsy shop.
Maybe its because I love red and white so much (my wallpaper when I was little was red and white striped) but I love adding red pops of color all over the house during the Valentine season. There is a cute Moda line out right now of all red and whites that I haven't looked at much until I was making this - then the wheels got turning and I was thinking of all the cute possibilities for it - may have to grab me some of that line too!

Valentine's Runner
I spent a few hours binding last night and finished up a few table runners - two of which are Valentine ones.
I love this quick and easy table runners using jelly roll strips or half a charm square and white fabric. The white border makes it for a more modern feel which I love.
I also made another strip runner to put on my island - again, and easy quick project to add a little color throughout the house.
I am linking up this week to Finish it up Fridays and Whoop Whoop for my first time. Trying to stay productive and having something to show each week!

Love is in the Air

I'm always excited when the Christmas decor comes down and the Valentines decor goes up. This is my second favorite quilt I've ever made. Its a Buggy Barn pattern which the method is a stack and slash, so its crazy and fun. I love the hearts and the fact that it says LOVE throughout a quilt.
I love the month of February because it means we are 1 month closer to spring!!! All in all its a fun month. Valentine's day is just around the corner. I also have my sister in laws birthday and my sisters birthday. It's a fun month to shop for cute decor.
It's also the month of my anniversary. This month will be 9 years! So good things are ahead of us this month.
Happy February everyone!
