White would have been too much contrast.

So it’s not a quilt but it is a finished top. It will be quilted up tomorrow and packed away for next year.

I stole the entire loft upstairs. I wish I had enough room to get an island with a machine lift so I can use it as a cutting station too.

Thanks. The 96”x24” ironing station is one of my favorite features.

And not in the photo across from the long arm is a full wall of fabric on bolts or boards.

Ugh! I sewed four rows out of order. Time for Jack the Ripper and a missed personal deadline.

Assembly is under way. Let’s see if I can bet the clock and be finished by Valentine’s Day. My husband informed me that Feb 15th the house gets flipped to St Patrick’s.

All the A and B blocks are now complete. I feels that’s good enough for a stopping point today.

Stopping point for now so I can go to dinner with the husband. Half completed centers for the A blocks. Using the partial seam method, which I’m fond of.

After a few life hurdles and distractions I’m back at finishing this Valentine’s quilt. Always take into account nesting your seam while pressing.

Coming out very nicely if I do say so myself. First time using crop on the quilt top.

Next quilt is designed, fabrics picked, and math done. Too bad the background fabric, a solid pink, hasn’t arrived yet so I can’t get it all cutout today.

All sewn up. Now need to make some longarming decisions. Am I going to quilt around the hearts in white and the hearts in red. That would be lots of ProStitcher work.

Seedling all looking good except looks like something ate a couple leaves. Need to start another tray of marigolds too.

Time to square the hearts up and then add the sashing.
