Love is in the Air :: Hearts

Don't you love 💟's?!  With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I was inspired to make a few hearts and for once be ahead of the game.  I was also looking for a little something to make to fill the gaps until I could delve into something big!
MINI HEART 6"
Using my Pattern for 'Trio of Hearts', I opted to just make the mini heart times two!  It's a fun way to use the rainbow and if there's scraps involved...I'm all in!



 With each square finished at 1", it takes a little more patience to assemble.  That doesn't mean it isn't worth every second in my opinion.

The pattern requires half square triangles using the 2 in 1 method.  Which means I have enough for two hearts.  How can I not go ahead and make two then?  Resisting is futile!  

To change it up and not make identical hearts, I sometimes use different colors in the rainbow.  And of course the low volume 'filler' squares are never identical.  But to really make each it's own, I quilt them differently and give each their own binding flavor.

GEOMETRIC HEART
4 3/4" X 4 3/4"
My next heart is paper piece, again with the rainbow theme!  The pattern is by Kristy Lea of Quiet Play.   Seriously a crazy heart to make!  This little heart has 38 colors packed into that one little square!

The center fabric has metallic plus signs and I thought it would give it a bit more punch! 

SCRAPPY HEART
6 1/4" X 6 1/4"
As if those weren't enough...one more...this time it's pink...and it's prints!  Shocker!!  I had a hard time finding 21 pink (or close enough to pink) different fabrics.  I persevered and ended up with a cutie of a heart!  I love the neon pink binding!
HUMMING BIRD
6" x 6"
What's this?!  That is not a heart!  I had to include a palate cleanser after so many hearts!  I saw this hummer and knew I had to make it.  The pattern is by Center Street Quilts on Etsy.  

I enjoyed making this humming bird and quilting it to an inch of its life!  But the binding I have to say I love!  

 With all my mini's I use this binding method:  Mini Mini Binding.  I doubt I'd make as many mini's as I do if I didn't have a tried and true easy method for binding!

 Now that you are thoroughly 'hearted' out...I do have good news!  I finally wrote the pattern I've boasted about forever!  I'll fill in the details on another post!

    Your hearts are great! And I am partial to hearts since I am a Valentine's Day baby. Your hummingbird is so sweet, too. Great job once again! Nadine W. N. Cali rnwillis@velotech.net

      LOL!!! I’m sorry (not sorry)! There’s always something that strikes our quilting fancy that we weren’t planning on making!

    Well, I'm not usually much of a hearts person, but all the heart minis had me (that neon pink binding - love love love). Then I saw the hummer with that fantastic binding! So much fun going on in your studio!

      I do love the neon pink binding too! A little extra zing isn’t always a bad thing! They are fun little minis to make and hopefully I can make the hummer again in different colors! Hot pink?!
