Hearts & Wreaths

After I finished block 12 for my Hearts & Wreaths quilt, it was time to ready more blocks for applique. I have been working on 4 blocks at a time but this time I prepared 6 blocks.

First I chain-stitched embroidered all 6 blocks, then I appliqued hearts in the center of each block. 

Some of the blocks I really like, these turquoise and pinks hearts are my favorite of this group. I fussy cut the turquoise hearts, those butterflies are so cute!

There are 3 blocks with yellow in this group. Some of the yellow hearts are a little light but I think they'll show up against the background yellow. The leaves will brighten them up.



As usual, here is a link to the first post I wrote about Hearts & Wreaths. I have made a slight change to the pattern. The pattern recommends embroidering the circle with 2 strands of brown floss. I think black always makes fabrics pop so my circles are embroidered with 3 strands of black floss.

    I like the blue butterflies fussy cut into hearts… each block prepped is awesome though but a bit of fussy cutting is awesome:). Happy stitching… I like a heavy line as well!

    your hearts are nice and neat - I made a couple baby quilts years ago with that type of pattern - hearts in the corners some years ago they were for someone and I haven't seen those quilts in years I bet yours is a lot neater than mine was!

    I love you heart blocks. Agreed, black was the better choice for stitching.

    The pink and teal is a really striking block, but I think my favorite is the blue and purple. All of them turned out beautifully.
