The fat quarters were sliced and diced into some (okay a lot of) half square triangles. I added the large heart in the bottom corner as a homage to a certain upcoming holiday. The heart in the top left corner was added because I was missing just ONE dang HST. Not worth buying more fabric for. So I used scraps and appliqued the pink heart onto a white square. I think it adds just a wee bit o’ charm.
For the quilting I tried a new-to-me pattern – large loops combined with gentle waves. I like the softness of it! You can sort of see it in the photo above, and better in the next two photos:
The binding is the pink stripe from the Noteworthy line. It does a great job framing the quilt without being overpowering.
I’m calling this quilt “Sweet Talk” and the pattern is available here and here. The pattern includes instructions for a throw size (50” x 60”) and a twin size (71” x 88”)
Here are the details for this quilt:
finished measurement: 50” x 60”
fabrics used: 11 fat quarters (Noteworthy by Sweetwater for Moda) and Kona Snow
