I have three quilts to make in short order. Of course, I am working in my favorite style -- fused applique. If you look at a number of quilts that I do for baby quilts; I use 3 X 3, 3 X 4 or 4 X 4 pattern of a specific motif. Something simple, like this modernized version of a heart within a heart, is fast and easy to put together -- especially when you use an uncut piece of fabric for the back ground. Next step is to begin machine blanket stitching around each heart with a colored thread. I use Mettler 100% Cotton Silk Finish 50 weight tread to do the blanket stitch. I like the smooth appearance of the thread and they have a variety of colors.
