Lisa’s Take Heart Quilt

Mar 22

How sweet is this quilt?!?! It’s almost like a log cabin block.

The pattern is called Take Heart by Modern Domestic, and it’s free!! Go here for all the details: https://moderndomesticpdx.com/free-take-heart-quilt-block-pattern/

Lisa paired the heart block with a solid square every other block to spread out the heart blocks, which I love!!

I suggest Patricia Ritter and my Cupid panto design for the quilting, and Lisa said yes!! I love the soft swirly curves with the hearts and all the negative space.

Cupid is available at Urban Elementz, go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/cupid.html

I used a light grey Omni thread from Superior Threads. Omni is my favorite, my machine stitches beautifully with it.

I used 4oz bamboo batting, which is Lisa’s favorite. I can see why, bamboo is soft and cuddly, as well as eco friendly and the fold lines aren’t as prominent as they are with cotton or 8020 batting.

Close up!

The Cupid texture is sooo good, but wait…

Can you see the pink minky backing???

Whenever my clients want minky to back their quilts with, I hope is the solid minky. Who needs added texture from the minky when the quilting does a beautiful job!!! It’s one of my favorite things to see the quilty texture in the soft cuddly minky.
