Valentine in January

 

After working on several quilts (many I have yet to share here), it was nice to work on something a little smaller.  I used to sew bags, clothing, and toys and somewhere in there I got hooked on quilts.  This year I'd like to diversify my sewing a little bit.  Don't get me wrong, I still have several quilts in the queue and will probably keep adding to that list.

For this project, I used Canoe Ridge Creations' patchwork heart block tutorial.  I dived into my scrap bin and pulled out all the pink pieces I could find.  The block had to be pink because, did I mention, June loves pink?  Pink pink pink.  I plan to turn this into a pillow top and give it to her for Valentine's Day.  I'm still deciding how to quilt this.  Any suggestions?

Linking up at Quilt Story, Blossom Heart Quilts, and Freshly Pieced.
