Put A Little Love In Your Quilt - winner chosen!

When Carol of Just Let Me Quilt announced this blog hop I just knew I had to join. I have missed the blog hops that Mdm Samm organized a few years back.

Over the last year or so I have been falling more and more in love with foundation paper piecing, but the love really started to bloom almost exactly one year ago when I started to pattern test for Berene of Happy Sew Lucky.

The Love Tattoo pattern is perfect as the first entry of my day in this blog hop. This piece will eventually become a part of a big quilt which  Berene is currently designing.

This is another one of Berene's heart patterns. It is an example of hearts not only being sweet and lovely. I checked my archives, and I made this piece in April 2017, way before the ‘famous’ book was published.

This 'I Heart You' mini quilt designed by Allison of Cluck Cluck Sew was one of the first projects that came into my mind when the blog hop was announced. The pieced mini quilt has been very popular lately, with its own hashtag on social media. I think the mini is awfully cute, and it was very fulfilling to make it. I had lots of fun quilting it, with different designs for the hearts, both straight lines and FMQ, and matchstick quilting for the background.

 

The last project I am showing in this blog hop is a colorful tote. I found the #lovewinshearts template years ago, created by Amy Gunson of Badskirt for Sew Mama Sew. I knew this would be perfect for a tote bag. I straight line quilted the panel and added some big stitch hand quilting around the hearts.

 

 

I used a tutorial from Jedi Craft Girl and modified it a bit to fit the heart panel.

The main fabric for the tote is shown better on the back side. This is a gorgeous black and white print from Ikea that I had in my stash, it is dated 2008 on the selvage.

I also added a recessed zipper for extra closure of the bag. I think this will be one of my favorite totes, it is big and roomy.
