Heartfire is Almost a Flimsy

Hello Everyone,
 
Heartfire is finally together.....together without the borders that is.
 

Each block is different.


They are all unique in their own way.....like a snowflake.




Mr. Joe and I collectively decided on the polka dot fabric for the border.  This was not my original plan, but plans change.  I couldn't tell you how many times I've changed my border fabric once the quilt is together.  I have a bin of unused border fabric just waiting to for their quilt to be made.


I've been decorating, and the living room is finished!  Last night after a long day of Christmas shopping, I curled up with a good book (on my plaid couch) in front of the fire, and enjoyed the fruits of my labor.  The quilt above the fireplace is called Christmas Windows by Brandywine Designs.  I love this quilt and it's perfect over the mantle.



Enjoy your Saturday.  I know you are going to be busy, but take the time to sit and enjoy the moment.

Soon,
Lynn

  2. I like the dotted border choice, and I've done the same with swapping out the fabric when I get to the border. Your Christmas decos are very festive - looks like a page straight from a magazine. I have a single ornament hanging...because it arrived in the mail.

  8. I love your fussy cut centres in Hearfire and it's going to look stunning. Oh, your living room looks so cosy and Christmassy. It's just not the same here in Oz with hot weather. Must get something done even though we don't know where anything is. Take care.

  12. What a cozy, inviting living room! It makes me feel all warm and snuggly just looking at it! Your quilts are lovely. I know what you mean about changing out the border etc. I actually once sewed a new back on to a quilt after I quilted it!
