About that one red block...
I like my quilts to have a "heart", where all the extra love and good wishes lay right over the recipient's heart when they draw the quilt over them. I've done this for a lot of quilts and people seem to like it.
Other progress on the second and third quilts in progress include deboning about 13 shirts from my brother-in-law's closet, and cutting a bunch of background squares and print squares for the Bullseye top remodel for my brother. I need to sew faster!

I love your "heart" over the heart of the recipient. How wonderful. This design is great and I love the greens. What a special quilt!
Beautiful quilts and wonderful of you to make for someone fighting cancer
Love the "heart" idea for your quilts. Very sweet.
Taking apart shirts is quite a process for me, regardless of what Bonnie Hunter says. But I love quilts from shirts!
Your idea for adding in a heart is beautiful and so creative. That backing fabric is perfect too. Love this quilt and all the love you've sewn into it .
Wonderful! Love the heart of the quilt. What a special and healing gift from you hands and heart.

Love the red block! You're braver than I using a stripe for the back. I always worry directional fabrics will end up wonky when I quilt it.
What a touching gesture with the heart! I hope your neighbor's son does well.
I like your "heart" idea, it really adds a nice zing to the quilt.
I think we all wish we could stitch faster. But those of us who still work full time probably have to wait for retirement for much improvement on that front. At least it gives us something to look forward too.
That is a striking, graphic quilt. I am touched to read of you adding "heart" to your quilts, directly from yours to his; what a lovely addition to an already incredible gift. I shall lift him up in prayer. Hugs to you~
