Putting my heart out there....

Decided to take a short break from the "scheduled" quilts, to create a quilt for my daughter Maggie's first apartment. She's flown the coop and is off to adventures in college. Such a proud Momma I am! It's really enjoyable to visit with my grown children...so having finished her quilt I found myself with a lot of red leftovers and of course inspired by the upcoming Valentine's holiday, I went in search of a fun way to use them up. I came across the Crazy Patch Heart block from Carol Doak ( http://with-heart-and-hands.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html ) and added in a few more scrappy blocks to creat this scrappy heart quilt--I love this type of quilting as there is no true pattern and I get to play with what I have on hand.  As I had a few heart blocks leftover, four went into a table runner and the rest will be incorporated into another quilt using the Chinese Coin pattern...
