The roads are mostly cleared, trucks can once again come up the mountain, and that means our mail service has resumed!!
I was delighted to get a squishie containing a set of heart swap blocks in our first batch of mail, and I zoomed them right up with alternating blocks. ( ...to be quilted soon.) I'm going to use this as a table topper in the dining room. I'd planned to add another border, but I think the size is good, and the white border shows it up nicely against the red tablecloth.
The quilt hanging on the armoire is from another (long-ago) swap. The mix of pinks and reds in both quilts really works nicely together. And whoops -- there's the dogs' toy basket behind the chair :)
We're going to the movies tonight to see Invictus -- I'm looking forward to it!!!

I love the way you change your house around with different quilts for different seasons and events.
Invictus is on our 'to watch' list - we're not big cinema goers but looking forward to this one - love to hear your verdict
What a sweet table topper.
great quilt from your swap blocks..my only deco is a dollar store table cloth I really liked and a heart wind chime..looks absolutely fantastic!!
Wow - you had that great Valentine's day print in your stash for an alternating block? How fun - it all works together perfectly! Cheers! Evelyn
Looks great...will be perfect to bring some cheery red in during these cold months.
Pretty Valentine quilts! I have that same heart pattern that I just bought a couple weeks ago, my pattern doesn't put the setting blocks in though, I think I like the way yours is done.
Those heart blocks are wonderful! Could you share the dimensions? I'm going to make something Valentine-y for the gals at the office to roll the dice on and love this heart!
Invictus is on our list too. Hope you enjoyed it.
ooh pretty..hmm chocolate and red I think that would make a great heart quilt...
