Heart of the Matter
(sometimes I called it Heartfelt)
42 x 56
It's a finish!
These are what I call Slab Blocks. Some might call them Crumb Blocks. For me slab pieces are bigger than crumb pieces and slab pieces have mostly straight line sides whereas crumbs might take any shape.
So I started making these blocks back in December 2021 as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) project. I used red Heart Blocks as the center of the 14 inch Slab Blocks - the heart of the matter. Earlier this year when "Strings and Crumbs" was the theme in my sewing space I only needed 3 more blocks for a top so I made those and assembled the top.
And now it is quilted - with swirls on my DSM - and it is bound with a striped print in a rainbow of colors and a few flowers.
And the backing is a rainbow of color too. And see the LOVE quilted in?
And sew on...

Gorgeous! So much to look at in this quilt.
This is a quilt that will be well loved, no matter where it ends up. (I hope you might be keeping this one for yourself?)
The hearts light up this quilt! And crumbs, slabs -- it works.
Great scrap buster here. I love how well the blocks play together. I see the Love! I also love the backing. Perfect for this quilt. Great job, Cathy! ;^)
