Heartstrings

This is my Heartstrngs quilt top.  For several months now while sewing I will cut any scraps into 1 1/2" strips.  Focusing on red and blues, I crafted this top figuring it out from the Heartstrings blog button.

You can view the heartstrings blog at http://heartstringsquiltproject.com/  Each month they have a heartstrings project.  I just love the February lime green hearstrings quilts.  Such a great way to use your scraps.

Stash Report- May 15, 2011

Fininshed my UFO for May!  Another Saints quilt.  However, this one is for me.  Another one I made which was very similar to this one was donated for a raffle for the son of one of our staff.  He is a young man with a wife and child, has kidney cancer and hasn't worked in over a year.  We sold tickets for $5 or 5 for $20 and raised $1,400 for him.  He was so grateful!

I am officially off of work until August 15.  I hope to get lots of quilting in.  But have plans to spend a few weeks with my daughter in NYC and a few weeks of beach time in Florida.  Happy summer!
