L is for Lila

Hey there friend!

This post is brought to you by the letter - L

L is for Lila

This quilt was a work of love.

And lots and lots of hearts!

Here is the math:

220 rectangles + 220 squares + 440 smaller squares = 880 pieces 

And 880 pieces = 110 hearts

Whew!

I totally "heart" this quilt and tote set I made for sweet baby Lila. Well, I actually made it for my mom to give to Lila's mommy.  {Mom is still my best customer and I really "heart" her, too}

I don't know if I've ever had a quilt come out as close to the vision in my head as this one.

When I saw this quilt pattern I imagined hearts in pastel colors and delicate patterns. The white to set each one off was a must. Do you see how by sewing one row with the hearts facing up and the next with them facing down I got a chevron pattern in-between every other row? Pretty cool huh!?

I decided to carry over the chevron pattern with the fabric I chose for the backing. The binding, in a deeper purple with a little flower design, looks great on both the front and back of the quilt.

Adding a lining to the tote always makes it extra special and pretty.

I hope sweet Lila enjoys being snuggled in this quilt and feels the love coming out of all those hearts!

 Love ya,
