One of my Favorite Quilts

I have to show off one of my Favorite Quilts.   I want to give a little backround story on the quilt first.  I have always wanted to have a quilt for each season/Holiday and I have slowly started to find the "perfect" pattern for each one. 
Once I found the pattern, it takes me a while to find the perfect fabric. I found the pattern in a quilting magazine (For the Love of Quilting -Fons and Porter, I'll have to check out the exact magazine to tell you which one, which means I'll have to find it). I saw the fabric in a neighbors table runner and I just knew that it was what I wanted to do.  Most of the fabric was from Sandy Grevis L'Amour, One of them was from a Riley Blake line (can't remember the exact line off the top of my head though)
I Love etsy, this was yet again mostly purchased off of etsy!!!!!
I started this quilt at the beginning of a pregnancy (before I had my youngest Buggy Boo), it's amazing how much more I quilt and all of those creative juices start flowing when I am pregnant.  I guess it was a blessing in disguise that I miscarried- I had more "nesting" time!!!!
I started quilting the quilt during the last winter Olympics, as you will notice in my pictures!

I always get asked if I appliqued the hearts onto the quilt- yes I did.  Then I carefully hand sewed them into place before piecing the quilt together.
This quilt took a lot of time- but it was definitely worth it!


I love the detail in between the hearts


I never took a picture of the finished project... oops.  I'll have to do that when I think about it.
