After making Cross My Hearts, I would not use this technique for another quilt-size project. (You can read my rationale here.) It’s a pretty perfect approach for things like pillows, though.
If this piecing shortcut or my heart block is new to you, great! Consider it an early Valentine’s gift from me to you ...

Good Morning, Michelle! I was just thinking about a pixilated quilt this morning. I have made one before, and knew I could quickly get my hands on the pattern later today. Then, here is your post!! And what a lovely layout and the fabrics you chose are just fab. Now I'm going to have to go read your linked post, although I suspect I have read it before. Hmm. Happy Happy Friday to you, my friend. Thank you for the linky party. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI love how the quilting gives it a cross stitch feel.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that method used before, but I wouldn't want to do the whole quilt with it either. It is a very pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely heart quilt - well done!
ReplyDeleteI like the negative space blocks. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks bright and fresh. Though I've never been fond of heart designs, this is definitely appropriate for February, and I love the colors. It's always nice to participate in your Linky party. Thank you for offering it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting! I bet my daughter would totally love to make one of these hearts. It seems like a great technique for kids to try.
