While searching for some star templates to finish another project I found another UFO (Un-finished Object) four little red hearts foundation pieced from scraps of red fabric on cream calico. Well what can I do with those? Looking at the fabrics I don\u2019t think I have any left, I don\u2019t recognise them at all, but no matter, I think I can finish them into a usable size by introducing another red fabric.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2535\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2535\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_7971.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2535\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_7971.jpg\" alt=\"hearts\" width=\"800\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_7971.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_7971-300x269.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_7971-150x135.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_7971-600x539.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">maybe like this?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Co-incidentally, my quilting group\u2019s annual challenge this year is \u201ccall it red\u201c. I just have to use these little squares, waste not want not. My first thought was to just put them together as in the picture, on a red background.<br \/>\nOr\u2026 I could add some applique hearts in Calico on red, with red stitchery\u2026 perhaps some more foundation pieced hearts in different reds\u2026 perhaps\u2026 anyway I have till July to figure it out.<\/p>\n<p>I love red and white quilts and\u00a0I had been planning to begin a red and white quilt for Cecily&#8217;s challenge , a feathered star in white on a red background, but if I\u2019m honest it\u2019s not likely to happen, not unless I find an eighth day in the week, or am in the happy position of being able to \u00a0retire before July. So I&#8217;m really pleased to have found these Hearts, I can get them made into something before July&#8230; surely.<\/p>\n<p>I have recently redecorated and re-carpeted my Studio and am back in and free to sew again, but for one small problem, now the room is clean and warm and bright, a certain 15 year old who had denied any designs upon the space, now thinks his own room is way too small for him and perhaps my playroom will suit him better. In the summer when I have redecorated the living room, I will have to think about decamping to what is currently the dining room, so hopefully I can get my little red hearts quilt completed before then.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just have to use these little squares, waste not want not.
