Back design

I love to do some  design on tht  back of quilts.  It helps use up scraps and sometimes lets me try a new pattern.  I have had this one on the to so list for a couple of years.

From Love of Quilting, September/October 2018.

Pattern is called  "First  Heartbeat ".


After I got the quilt  top ready,


I immediately pulled the magazine and begun calculating how many pieces  of each size needed to enlarge this from just two heartbeats  to three and also increase the width to fit my twin size quilt top.

I did some strip piecing and lots of pressing

Putting this together  in rows then sections.



The remaining will be the solid  wine color.

Hope to have this ready to sandwich next week
