#iheartyouquilt

I decided that the I Heart You quilt pattern would be a perfect way to remember our dog who passed in the fall. She always wanted a blanket on while she lay in her bed, she wasn’t allowed on the furniture. The majority of her blankets were fleece from Target I found on sale after Valentine’s Day many years ago. Most of them were probably more holes than blanket so I wanted to make a Valentine’s quilt in memory of her.

The fleece holes got tossed pretty much right away and I started collecting pink fabrics from my stash, and some new, to make this quilt. I used an Art Gallery fabric, white with paw prints, for the talk bubble background. True to my heart (and partly because I mostly stash partial fat quarters) I made the rest of the pieces scrappy and random.

This was a quick sew. And if you can handle about a billion stitch and flip corners, it’s a pattern worth sewing.
