A few weeks ago I was perusing pinterest and came across a version of the pixelated heart from Blue Elephant Stitches. I really liked the concept and so following her pattern I constructed my own.
I also used 3 inch squares but I picked a more subtle color palette. I wanted to make the heart more hidden. Plus I had just gotten a gorgeous fat quarter bundle of Kona pinks so it seemed like the thing to do.
I used Ana Davis' Animal Parade collection for the heart. So I did the heart all prints and the area around the heart in the Kona solids.
The binding is made from the scraps and I machine sewed it on as I am not patient enough for hand sewing.
Here's one last lovely picture:).
If you're interested it is for sale in my etsy shop.

That is so pretty! I like it even better than the original with more contrast.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I really loved using a single color choice for this pattern.
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteI use to like the scrappy ones the best, but this pale pink is so fantastic!
Thanks Maja!!!
DeleteSuch an amazingly sweet quilt. You've inspired me! I need to make my oldest girl an "I Love Lucy" snuggle quilt and it never occurred to me to make it with this pattern! Duh!
