Rows of hearts

Back that truck up! Not really.  But here is where my hearts were 2 weeks ago.



And I just wasn't feeling this as a center with  a large space of white and then a border of these.
My creative mind has been contemplating this for a while. And I just didn't like it and had been searching for inspiration.  So over the weekend I ripped it apart.

(Here is one block close up.)

And I decided I would put the blocks in rows and put fabric strips between them.

So I cut out many more setting triangles, pieced a few more blocks ...

And here is what I now have: 50 hearts minus the last one all in 5 rows. Each row is 85 inches long.

Great for a full sized bed.  Now to finish the ends.  And cut and sew lots of leftover 30s in horizonal strips.

And I hope it will kind of look like this:

Here is another version of the same heart block I saw at a friend's house. Cute!

Back to the sewing machine!
