More of I'm gonna make a quilt for "the wedding" saga.....whazzat called??

I've seen a heart that has sort of square-ish angled ears and a nine patch square (holy creaking blue bells, I'm starting to sound like a quilter person, huh!) set on point to form the bottom of the heart........does this make sense to anyone? The problem being, if I don't know what it's called I can't find it to get a pattern or destructions or any stuff like that. I see this quilt in my mind, now I just need to figure out how to do what I think I want.

Contrary to Miss Polly's private elbow nudge suggestion about making a double wedding ring quilt with scalloped bound edges, etc........and I really seriously looked at this thinking, brilliant idea Polly, why not!........then realizing Polly and the gators were all but rolling on the floor, wetting themselves laughing while suggesting such a thing to ME

*knowing* I would never be able to afford enough alcohol, chocolate, psycho-therapy, new shoes for the wedding AND quilt materials. Our Polly has a sick, warped, twisted sense of humor........must be why we love her so.......~snort!~ ;))

But if you're looking for the heart block you describe, (and I know I've seen others), try this one:

Well, I declare. Here I am pure as the driven snow and Val suggests that I could be guilty of anything except encouraging her to do her best. Mercy. Doesn't everybody create a double wedding ring quilt with scalloped binding for their 2nd quilt? Please pardon me. One of the gators has the hiccups. BwaaaaaHAhaha. Polly

OH!! I like that better than any of the ones I found. (and had I read carefully, I'd have know I didn't find the right ones - 9-patch!!! Duh. Oh well, now I have a new setting for log cabin, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

I am not sure what you are describing. Do you mean anything like this?

Ohhhhhhh, that's nice. If the hearts were done in red and white they'd look like the paper heart baskets my Danish Grandma taught me to weave to hang on the Christmas tree :) *mumbling about possibly making quilted Christmas wall hanging or table runner* Kathyl nailed the pattern I had seen and was looking for. Now I'm looking at fabric, and moving construction paper cut outs around on my coffee table making designs........does this madness never end?? I need a cool cloth for the back of my neck.

Glad you found what you were looking for. I will have to go check out Google 'cos I missed Kathyl's post.

Good Luck!

I sent you an email..........I also looked at your quilts, the red/black/white one is really stunning! What kind of fabric is the white stuff?

Thank you so much. That whole quilt is made from polyester double knit!! The white is textured. I've been sewing garments for years, so it doesn't scare me. I actually finished the other pieced border the other day, and so now it's ready to sandwich. It will have W&N batting and bright red flannel backing. I'm going to try free motion meander on it!! It's destined for a low-income senior citizen apartment complex, which is part of the ministry my DH is involved in. They have 17 apartments, and I'm trying to make a quilt for each one, but it's slow going.

Let me give you a little heads up about those quilts you are making for the seniors. I live in a church sponsored low income apartment house and have received two lovely lap quilts for several Christmas 'secret Santa' gifts. I absolutely LOVE them!! Being in a wheelchair and not moving around much I feel a chill when most people are quite comfortable and they are perfect to make me just comfy as can be. I know that whoever gets these appreciate your work. Thank you from all of "us". :)
