Heart of the Home quilt along

 

I'm sewing along with the Heart of the Home quilt along. 

I think that the quilt is so beautiful, it's designed by Sherri from

 A Quilty Life. You can find Sherri's post about the quilt along on her blog, I have it highlighted.  

Here is the schedule for the quilt along.  It's not too late to join :)

Here are the fabrics I pulled from my Quilty stash.  It felt so good to use fabric that I already have and I really like them.  Sherri used her line of fabric called "Strawberry Lemonade".  It would have been fun to have that pretty bright green, but I'm happy with what I have.

This is week 1, collecting fabric for your quilt.

Week 2 is making the star blocks, they are 4 1/2" unfinished.

I always love choosing fabric, and seeing which colors work best.  I use the clothespins with letters on them for making my pieces after they're cut.  If I don't mark them, it takes so much longer to figure out which piece is which and where it goes.  I bought them at Target for $1 or $3 each. I bought four packs :). 

Week 3 is what we're on now and it is the heart blocks.  They were very easy to make!

Next week are the house blocks and I'll see you then!

Happy Quilting!
