Rainbow Hearts complete

So happy to have completed my September goal and more.  I set out at the beginning of the month to piece my Rainbow Heart blocks into a quilt top, and I was finished that goal so early in the month that I thought I should see if I could quilt and bind it as well.

Here is the finished quilt. 


I was able to find a lovely rainbow stripe for the back. 


And this lovely white on white hearts for a narrow sashing and binding. 


Quilted with the 'I Love it' pantograph by Anne Bright. 


I even remembered to make a label for this quilt. 


Rainbow hearts started out with a few heart blocks given to me by a friend, which I then decided would make a nice Rainbow Scrap Challenge project following the Soscrappy blog.  These little hearts have been sitting in a container for quite a while, and now participating with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal I am happily finishing projects.

Rainbow Hearts for September

My goal this month is to piece the top of this Rainbow Hearts quilt. 


I inherited the first few blocks of this quilt from a friend, no pattern just blocks, and decided to continue making more heart blocks.  It was an excellent project to participate in Soscrappy’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  As with so many other projects, I end up putting them on the shelf once the blocks are finished.  It’s now time to complete this top and participate in Elm Street Quilt’s One Monthly Goal.

And I’ve already begun to play with it, a few cornerstones, and then some sashing.  Hopefully completing the top by the end of September.
