Just wanted to show you some pictures of the crazy hearts quilt that I’m quilting this week. My friend, Sherry pieced this from a set of embroidery hearts I gave her. The hearts are made from crumb blocks and are cut with my AccuQuilt GO™ hearts die like this. They are cut from fabric that is randomly pieced together from scraps.
And then they are stitched onto background fabric with the basic hearts machine embroidery set.
And this is the way I’m quilting these. I am using this quilt to practice the swirls that I plan to use on Sherry’s bargello quilt.
Fantastic, how do you folks get to be so darn creative 🙂 Thank goodness you do and thanks for sharing, so we can get some ideas as well.
What an awesome project, Marjorie! Love this use of the heart die! Thanks for the inspiration.
Great scrappy hearts and the machine quilting is fabulous
I’m amazed at what the quilting has done for that quilt. It doesn’t even look the same. Better than great job!!
I love the crazy cut idea. That would even work for piecing dies!
Hearts are great!! Particularly like the swirls!
Very creative! Excellent use of all the scraps that we can’t bear to throw away.
Love the project… and the quilting too. Great idea for those odd-ball scraps. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that gives me some ideas for all those scraps that I keep piecing together!
thanks
That is a good idea…love it. Why can’t I think of these things myself? Since I can’t seem too I am glad you can!!
wow love this idea. can’ wait to try it.

I really like the piece hearts. What a great way to use up scraps.
I love the heart patch idea. The quilt looks so pretty. Is it hard to machine quilt swirls on it?
Marjorie, I just love those….looks so fresh
Really cute and seems like a great way to use scraps too.

I love that idea and the quilt looks amazing!! I definately need an embroidery machine. I think I will ask Santa hubby 🙂
You pebbling is awesome. It is so even. Did you use a template for the swirls or is it all freehand? The swirls are just perfect. I love the quilt, the idea, and the colors. It’s just great!
