H2H Friday Finish - My Heart Skips a Beat

My Heart Skips a Beat quilt is complete!  This is my 2017 contribution for the H2H Charity Quilt drive.  I don't usually name my quilts.  But this one is called "My Heart Skips a Beat".  I call it that because I won these blocks from Linda who blogs at Art In Search..  Linda puts together beautiful comfort quilts.  These "Hearts Galore" were blocks given to Linda.  She put them up for adoption.  The orphan block adoption was hosted by Cynthia's blog, Quilting is More Fun Than Housework.  This quilt will be donated to Happy Chemo as an H2H quilt.  Emily from Em's Scrap bag will be distributing the quilts.  H2H stands for Hands to Help.  It's a comfort quilt charity drive that is driven by Sarah Craig at Confessions of a Fabric Addict.  Look at all the LOVE that has gone into this quilt already.

It measures 61" x 93".  I quilted it with one of my new to me pantographs.  I recently purchased a whole box of them on APQS.  It was great practice for me and it turned out quite cute (if I don't say so myself.)

The back is super scrappy.  This month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC17) at Angela's blog, SoScrappy,  we are focusing on using multi-colored fabrics that don't really fit into a color family.  I thought that would be a great place for some bright, fun fabrics.  There are bright pinks, fishing lures, hearts, flowers, picnic foods, plaids, ducks in the garden, buttons, and some scrappy bow tie blocks.  They worked perfectly for the back of the quilt.

Here in the plaid fabric you can see some of the 10" Feathered Paisley pantograph quilting.  The design is by Anne Bright at www.annebright.com. 

 

This Sunday is the first check-in linky for this year's Hands2Help Challenge.  I will be sharing it there - and cheering on fellow quilters!  The linky party will stay open from Sunday 4/16 at 12:01 AM CST until Saturday 4/22 at 11:59 PM CST. Make sure you check out Confessions of a Fabric Addict to see all the gorgeous inspiration!

 

This was one of the quilts that I had planned to finish this quarter.  I posted about it in my Finish-A-Long 2017 Q2 Goals Post here.

 

 

I'm happy to link up this finish here.

 

 

Somehow all this scrappy goodness works for this quilt.  I love it when it all comes together.  The binding is a multi-colored fabric as well.  I love a striped binding.

 

 

It was my OMG! (One Monthly Goal) to finish this quilt for April -- it feels good to check another project off of my UFO list. (Even if it was a new project for 2017.  It's DONE!)

 

Patty from Elm Street Quilts is our hostess for OMG.  Check out all the fun there!  You can find the April linky party here.  Look at the cute Easter Eggs in the button!!!  The April OMG Finishes party is here.  I linked up with the finishes on 4/30... just in the nick of time!
