Hearts at Home Quilt

Don’t know if I ‘reported in’ with the results of the beef adventure or not but …. wooden spoon roll here - a whooping 1# 7 oz of tallow!  (the beef adventure can be found at www.beulahland.com under the Dribbles button)

I can’t wait to try it in soap. Will let you know ’bout that later when I make and use it.

Below is the center portion of the quilt I’ve started. I’m thinking of using the printed squares fabric as borders. What do you think? Since the center is all pieced together I think the printed fabric looks cheap but John, my husband, likes it. I’ll put a little more white around the center square so it will stand out more but I need something to lengthen the center square into a rectangle. After these printed borders will be more white and then a final border. of just patchwork with the same fabrics as the center hearts until the quilt measures about 78×88, full size. The quilt will be named “Hearts at Home”.

Gotta get busy on the patchwork border section!

(note Aug. 2009 - I didn’t use the printed border!! made a flying geese border instead)
