This quilt was the Grid girls quilt from last fall. The idea was to choose five coordinating fabrics and use them in a quilt along. Here is the result. I took it promptly to a local quilter, who then had some health issues and also was remodeling her home. She just did not ever get to it, due to these issues. Finally two weeks ago, I asked for her to just give it back to me, and I sent it off to be quilted. 2 weeks later, here I am!!! Just need to stitch the binding down.
Have you ever found a heart in the goings and comings of your day? A lot of sewists are making hearts and placing them where they can be found, and kept by the finder! Here is the link to the website.

I am up to twelve blocks, using the scrap bag. Hurrah! I have no idea how to set these together!

very pretty finish!
that heart idea is so neat...I love your 25 patch blocks--I have a new 36 patch one set out to sew...hope my back will allow me to do some sewing today...hugs, Julierose
The 25ps would be great with sashing like the background of the photo. Was the Grid Girls project a specific pattern or a challenge just to use a particular fabric palette.
What a beautiful Spring quilt. I love those colors together. I haven’t seen any quilted hearts in person, but I’ve seen a lot of them online. Fun idea.
Lovely finish Julie.I have lost my sewing mojo for the moment
Pretty quilt! Hugs Glad you got it finished-
So glad you were able to retrieve your quilt top!
I love that colour combo!
Love the quilt finish, and I LOVE this heart idea. Thanks for sharing that--I plan to join in!
I would love to make hearts, even better to find one! But I think here it would be frowned upon as littering. Maybe I should stick with my guerilla wildflower seeds instead?
Yay for the finish!!!! that is such a pretty quilt too!
Love the heart idea ;-)
and your 25 patch blocks are really cool!
Love the little hearts. Fantastic finish. So nice and cuddly. Your blocks will find a way of going together
Glad you got that pretty quilt quilted. I'd use a solid sashing between those blocks, to set them off. Maybe on point????
I have a setting I found that I’ll e for this type of block. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll share
I suppose by now you have the binding on that adorable quilt!
