Double Hearts - and Finished! (or not) Friday!

Back to a little quilting!!!

I am calling this quilt Double Hearts. I made it for a friends Wedding and guess what? It's done before the wedding!!! Go me.... how in the WORLD did I manage that?  May never happen again haha!


I asked the couple what their favorite colors were and they told me, and I got to thinking and planning - and ta da!! I came up with this!!! Now it is not a commercial pattern, it is all half squares - and I just drew it on graph paper. then I used 7 inch squares to make it a large quilt...



I quilted it with Deb Giesslers Double Hearts and Loops Pantograph and used this cute little dog print for the back ( they have dogs!)


I am so excited to have this done before the wedding - and I have two more wedding gift quilts to make so I had better get to organizing!!! Of course, we also have all the summer chores happening - last night was removing hay bales from the field and stacking them in the barn - late nights are tough on me! as the morning still comes awful early!!

your turn!! How has your week gone? what did you finish - or not finish?

That is a great design! So amazing what you can do with half square triangles. Congratulations on your perfectly timed finish!

Sara said...

That looks great - very modern. And of course that color combo is awesome. I just got a wedding quilt gift back from the quilter and started binding. The wedding isn't until September, so I'm OK.

HSTS are so versatile, lots and lots of layouts. You came up with a very cute one for a wedding. With the summer coming, I'm guessing the chores won't slow down anytime soon. Hopefully you can still work in your stitching time.

I like that one a lot! Isn’t it fun to play with Happy Half Square Triangles! I still have all the drawings I made during your HHST project back in 2020!

Lovely quilt, it fits the wedding "theme" perfectly! You have such good ideas! Congrats for getting it done right on time, must have been tough with all you've got going on.

Woo hoo, good for you. An in-time finish.

It's been very humid here. Sure hope you're not getting high temps where you are.
