Making a Start

I've been working on a scrap quilt, with a pattern called Love you Scraps by Mary Anne Warren, which was published in LoveQuilting Magazine recently.

It's involved A LOT of trimming!

However, it's always satisfying when you get to the piles of squares in their colour families....  this shows them before the larger HSTs became QSTs!

And here is some of the Love from the quilts name.

I did my best to keep them scrappy, but I have to confess that my red scrap bag is a little light on scraps big enough for the quilt!

Now I've reached the stage of making the blocks - there will be nine.

Can you see those red HSTs and QSTs?  When the blocks go together they will form extra hearts - isn't that cute?  I'm really looking forward to the final assembly! 

 So, these are the first two blocks complete.  I'm hoping to have time to complete the other seven this week, and make the quilt top.
