One of the groups that I quilt with decided it was time to produce another charity quilt. This time we agreed to do a joint quilt. None of us have ever done a heartstring quilt so thought we would give it a go.
Here are my four blocks. The only criteria was that they had to have a red of some sort going through the middle. We meet up again in about two weeks so it will be interesting to see what the others have done and how the whole thing comes together. My guess is that we will have to make more blocks but they are a really good way to use up my collection of 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 inch strips (you would not believe how many I have already cut!!).
I actually find this rather a difficult exercise - random is not really for me - I kept on auditioning every fabric when I should have just done with those on the top of the pile. The blocks are 8" finished and I made them by stitching and flipping over paper.
Happy Quilting.
